    What do people say to you when you tell them or show them your snakes?
    When I tell people I own snakes, or show people my snakes, they always say, "Man, how did you get into loving snakes?"

    What do people say to you when you tell or show them your snakes?

    I love showing off my kids. Most people think I'm a little crazy, but most are pretty amazed. A lot of people have never seen these kinds of animals before.

    "You seriously have a SNAKE???"

    "Couldn't he, like, kill you?"

    "Hasn't he bitten you when you're holding him?"

    I'm in high school, so these are my freshmen friends' comments, :rofl:

    "Did they bite you before?"

    "Don't they get like, huge?"

    Last night was the first time I got a shocked surprise. "When did you decide you were interested in snakes?!?!" "Can't they like, constrict you?" "You have a python constrictor?! Can't they kill you?!" Of course, I was at a wedding so people were slightly drunk. I tried to explain it a little more, "No, NOT a 'Python Constrictor', a Ball Python." And what did that do? In one ear, out the other. I tried to spread the word about how awesome my little Snickets is, but these people did not want to listen and learn a little. There was one girl who did want to know more, and I told her and she was totally cool with it. That was nice.

    Yeah hahahaha same here. In my biology classroom, there's a rat snake and EVERYONE is always telling me "c'mon, Sam, hold the snake!" and "sam will hold it" and most of the girls in class except for me pretty much shriek every time they even see him lol. I'm ashamed of them....
