Do you find it attractive when Girls/Guys own reptiles?

Well, considering all of my exs gave me crap about having reptiles. Actually finding a boyfriend who at least appreciates them, or owns them would be awesome for once. Its hard when you can't talk about your favorite hobby with the one person you should be able to tell everything to, because they just don't care.

Reading some of the posts by the guys in this thread, it's amusing because I almost dated a guy once... but he decided he didn't want a girlfriend who is into reptiles, too.. because he wants it to be his own thing. Oh well. Haha.

Love it when a man loves my group. I can say though in my neck of the woods when I say I breed reptiles for a living I get looked at like I've got three heads. IMHO if you can't deal with my ball pythons and others get out. It's my entire life so... Love me love my snakes!!!

Well, I'm a girl and I own a ball python. I've had a couple guy friends say that women who have snakes are, "sexy". Probably like how some women described as exotic are also described as sexy, owning an exotic pet makes people seem sexier?

Sometimes while my boyfriend watches me take care of my ball python or play with him he calls me cute. However, it seems like if you care for any pet in a loving way it's cute to some men since it shows some sort of mothering instinct? I've asked him about it before, because I felt like he was making fun of me and he just told me he thought it was adorable how I care so much about my snake.

I'm not really sure if I find men who own reptiles attractive. However, I guess I would say yes since I find reptiles interesting and I guess that would also lead to me becoming interested in that person (Not necessarily sexually). Some people are also just interested in things they don't know about, while others just don't want to get involved with things they don't know about.

I think it's attractive because it's something we have in common. My last boyfriend disappeared because I have snakes. He was terrified of them. If you can't stand my snakes and parrots, we won't be compatible.

My gf doesn't "love" my snakes and dart frogs, but she doesn't hate them either. She's very supportive of my hobbies....as long as I'm not spending all my money on them to the point of being broke. I told her a few months ago that when I can actually get back into balls that the first pair I'm buying will cost about $3k together (1.0 bee het red, 0.1 clown) maybe even $5-6k so I can get another female clown, and all she said was she hopes I know what I'm doing, she's here to support me and hopes I can make my money back when I do breed them. She's seriously the best girl in the world. :)

Guys (and girls!!!!!) with reptiles...:love: :tongue2: !!!!!

Just think it gives somebody a little added extra to their personality :) Had a bit of a thing for a girl back in Devon who was snake mad... :D My other half wasn't a reptile lover when I met him and now he's totally converted and got our new male living with him :) I was in love with him beyond belief before, and him sitting chatting to me about all things ball python is just like...*blushdroolswoon* XD Plus the majority of his family (that i've met) are reptile mad and love our BPs :D

I don't know about "attractive", because attraction for me would be entirely about the person and not what he owns. But I certainly wouldn't mind if the guy has reptiles or at least a pet of some sort, because it shows responsibility! Particularly with reptiles though. There's so much to know about them and special attention needed in areas that common pets don't have.

Oooh, can I see your clutch? ;)

Recently I posted a new Facebook photo, where I had a snake (Kipling the JCP) on my head... the guy I'm dating sent me a message, asking "is it weird that I find pictures of you & your snakes really sexy?" Of course I told him no, it's not weird at all. :D

I can't say a man owning snakes makes him more attractive to me, but it does imply we'd have something in common. I still have an active OK Cupid account, and just the other day it said somebody named "kalikingsnake" was checking out my profile - which definitely piqued my interest, even though I'm not really looking now! He also happened to be a redhead (like me), so I almost felt like he might be my soulmate... LOL.

I tend to take it as a sign that they are open to "different" experiences, which counts with me. Even if they down own them, being willing to learn about them (in moderation) is a plus. I went out with a guy a frew times that was afraid of snakes, which I didn't fault him for. However, at one point he asked if I was scared they would escape and strangle me. I responded by asking him to just let me show him one (while still in her tub), so he would know the size we were talking about (I only have BPs right now). "No, no, no, you promised I didn't have to!" Really? Come on, man up... And no, he's never been bitten or had someone close to him be injured by a snake. That was the last time we saw each other.
