My last girlfriend kept leopard geckos. She was fascinated by Magnus, but didn't know anything about snakes until I brought him home. Once she realized he was too little to harm her, she warmed up to him a lot.
the guy I'm kinda seeing now seems to think snakes are cool, but I'm not sure about his actual interest level. He's not yet Magnus yet. Since I entered the dating pool again, he's been the first test I put prospectives through if you don't love my snakes, you can't love me. It's really the only rule I have when ' getting to know someone. If the person isn't a fan of snakes, but is willing to learn about them, that's ok too.

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.

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 ).
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.
