I'm very pleased to see that the active community on this forum now is 60% girls and 40% guys haha. Given that "reptile keeping" is usually stereotypically attributed to men lol.

I wonder if there's an underlying reason? Women being more likely to post/register? Women more likely to be the ones keeping ball pythons? Maybe men are are less likely to take polls?
I know I've seen a *lot* more women involved in the hobby since I started almost 20 years ago, or at least, being more vocal about it. Both on forums and at reptile shows.
I don't know the reason but also found it interesting.

I don't know if I just didn't notice before, but even when I first joined the forum 2.5 years ago, there were fewer women/girls than now.
It is interesting!

I'm a woman, Snake women and Danger Girls are both female oriented facebook reptile groups.
It's funny, I had a saltwater group get together recently and that comes up sometimes as it's also usually considered a male heavy hobby but our group is mostly ladies. I'd say of reptile people I've met or known it's been fairly evenly split. Anecdotal obviously.

I think you may be right .... maybe men aren't as keen to give their online vote for whatever reason .... - I said that in a manly , gruff voice

Re: 2017 Gender Poll!
I'm a guy, but my 7 yr old daughter is also getting into reptiles. She is really likes leopard geckos. She has been my sidekick since day one. She used to help me in the fishroom when I was breeding a lot of fish.

I am male however I am terribly outnumbered in my house (wife and 2 daughters) so technically by answering male to the pole was inaccurate. The wife has no interest in snakes but my daughters love pretty much all creatures, except roaches. They would rather take on an armed intruder than a roach.
