My wife doesn't touch my snake room and I do not ask her to. We have been married for eight years now and she has only fed and cared for my snakes while I was in Iraq. Other than that I do it all. Snakes are my thing, not hers, and I never expect her to do a thing with them. She respects what I do with them and does not give me any fuss on when I buy new snakes, but still, she will not touch them.

I find it is healthy to have some seperate interests and not share everything, all the time. I do not help her knit or do scrap booking stuff, and she likes the alone time she spends doing that stuff, just like me with my snakes.
