Yo friends

Ok I'm not one for speeches but I just want to say how cool you guys are.

I was just out at some silly bar and people were talking about such SILLY things and the whole time I was like WHY DON'T ANY OF YA'LL LIKE SNAKES

BUT, you guys DO like that stuff! And that makes me love you all so much.

You are all so nice and funny and supportive and even though sometimes we bicker, we're like a little familia and I think that's rad.

I have best friend crushes on all of you

BP.net.... will you be my valentines?


Love Liv :love:

I had a guy come pick up ASFs today and I showed him all my snakes and I seriously could've yapped his ears off.

I was in Payless and tried talking snakes to the cashier and she was like ewww. And she was like if I found out my neighbor had snakes id move...

I was like :(

Aww, lol. I'll be your Valentine. Just don't tell my husband :eek: Haha. I know what you mean though, even though its over the internet, and we have all never met, I feel we are all friends. People just don't get the snakes. So you can't really share that sort of stuff like you would want. Most of my friends are "scared of snakes". Thankfully, we are converting my daughters friends, one at a time. So she will have some friends that don't think her snakes are creepy. However, she does have one friend who isn't allowed to come to our house because of them. Stupid people. :mad:

People drive me nuts! Northern Minnesota blows noone up here likes snakes it seems, my supervisor at my new job her family are snake family had a burm and boas balls all that and still have some so I can't kinda talk snakes with her or her daughters at work but they are the first girls I have met in real life that like snakes! Haha well unless you count my ex but demons aren't people

I wish more people were open when it comes to reptiles as pets, especially snakes. Everyone dismisses it so quickly and its very aggravating. :( Last weekend I was telling my coworker at work about my bearded dragon and ball python and I went to pull up pictures on google to show him what they look like. I pulled up some images of bearded dragons first while explaining how friendly they are and of course the only image he looks at is the one with the bearded dragon's beard all poofed out in defense mode, and he's like "yeah that sure looks friendly.." ARGH. :mad: Of course if you saw a picture of an angry dog with its teeth showing no one would come to the conclusion that all dogs aren't friendly, but people seem to like to generalize reptiles that way.

The best was when I told him I had a ball python. As original as ever, the first thing to come out of his mouth is, "soooo that can like strangle you and eat you in your sleep right?" ......yep my ball python that might reach 6 feet at most is going to bust out of her luggage strapped tub and swallow me in the middle of the night.....SERIOUSLY PEOPLE LEARN A LITTLE MORE AND QUIT GOING ALONG WITH STEREOTYPES LIKE THEY ARE THE LAW OF THE LAND. Maybe if you took the time to open your mind and interact with reptiles yourself before assuming you know everything about them and spouting off ridiculous bologna you might discover that you actually enjoy them and that they can be wonderful and rewarding animals to work with.

AAANNNDDD cut rant. :)

Yea i agree that most of you guys are better than a majority of the people i encounter on a daily basis.

Surprisingly I've yet to have the "omg isn't it going to eat you" card thrown at me yet

I only have one friend "in real life" who is into snakes and I think he probly gets a little annoyed at How In To Them!! Iam lol. I love being able to talk to you guys about them and just chat in general about lifes little quirks. Def. My favorite forum.

Florida is too humid and has too many reptile laws for me. Id appreciate the heat though.

Bahaha, I think I interact more on this forum than I do in my "real" social life (and I'm hardly as active as some of the people on here :oops: ). I actually forget how most people consider snakes to be unusual pets, and when the topic does come up I just list off all the reasons they're great (no smell, no noise, no house damage, once per week feeding, you guys already know the picture :P)

I've been pretty lucky though in that most of my friends didn't bat an eye when I started keeping reptiles, they've seen me do much stranger things. It's the encounters with the general public (small talk in waiting rooms, grocery store, work, etc) where I'm reminded the whole world doesn't love snakes

It's the same for me. My friends don't care at all, but it can kill a conversation with a stranger really fast. Doesn't help that I immediately (and most likely irreparably) dislike anyone that doesn't tolerate/like snakes... it severely limits the amount of people on the planet that I like :rolleye2:

Haha, same as well, if an attempt at education fails anyway.

"No, they won't hunt down and kill you in your sleep"

"BUT MAH BROTHER'S SON'S BEST FRIEND SAID -----"

I can see how that probably goes hahaha:
"Do you have that boot in a size 12?"
"So speaking of thawing out rodents, everyone ate last night!"

I experience the same here. People hear you keep snakes and they think your nuts. Hell my wife is so tired of me getting on here shes about to leave me if I don't cool it. Maybe that would be a good thing anyone looking g for an old man, I cook good work hard and love reptiles oh yeah did I say I love reptiles. I wouldn't know how to act if I was married to someone that got excited about a new pick up.

Most of my friends are not scared of snakes but none of them seem interested in them. If i start to talk about them they just try to change the subject of something. Ive only met a handful of people that i can actually talk to about snakes. Ive had several people ask me if im scared it will kill me. Mostly it happens when i take my snake to "pick" his dinner and people at the petstore ask the weirdest things.

It truly is a beautiful moment for me.

It's always a beautiful thing when someone drunkenly blurts out "I love you guys, you guys are my best friends!"

We love you too, drunk-Liv.
