Where are you from? Im sure theres more snake people around you than you think.....We met our new good buddy at a show, and had no idea he was so close by...only seven miles from us! I think part of it is the laws and stuff with snakes. Guys and gals are afraid to come out of the woodworks over fear of letting people know they have snakes. It kinda sux. I wish there was a local "reptile club", but the closest one I think is in Lancaster.

This will limit you a ton. I would amend that to, "if you don't support me in my hobbies and interests". Why does the guy HAVE to love your snakes? Guys get stuck going shopping all the time. If they don't love it does the chick dump him? No lol

I'm from the NY metro area, specifically Long Island. There are definitely people out here and I usually meet new people at expos. Right now I'm not really being as open as I once was because unfortunately I had a scary incident involving a local herp person threatening and borderline stalking me. It almost drove me out of the hobby entirely but I decided that all the great people and experiences outweigh the small fraction of bullies and nasty people out there.. :)

Well I mean, it does have more flexibility than it sounds like in text. Like, if my partner doesn't want to hold my snakes or watch me feed them or other things that may lead to the person getting squicked out, of course I'd never force it. The person just has to be aware that the well-being of my snakes comes before a romantic relationship. If they threaten to kill my animals out of fear or something like that, they can just walk out the door now. And I spend a LOT of my time thinking and talking about reptiles, so it would be in everyone's best interests for us to have similar or corresponding enthusiasms.
EDIT: and a girl MIGHT dump a guy for not wanting to go shopping! It depends on the girl. It's the same sort of thing with me and my pets. :D

I joined a local forum for Virginia herp lovers, they occasionally get together and have events. Not a bad way to meet people, I have also made a friend through this site. I am not shy about letting people know about my hobby.. you would be amazed at how many people express interest.

Re: looking for a snake loving girl
I know I'm super late to the party, but I actually met someone on here. We started talking because he lived literally down the road from me (maybe 5 miles or so). We ended up having a lot in common and always sharing our balls with one another. Now he thinks we're in a relationship and well...I'm terrified of relationships (dad issues :rolleyes: ).
I say all this to say...it is possible to meet people here on the forums or at an expo. It just sometimes takes talent. And if you're trailing me...you must have patience and perseverance. I've been running from this guy for probably 9 months and he's still coming back xD I should probably keep him.
