I have two friends that love them and enjoy holding my two boys. One of them has actually asked if I would give her my normal boy (1st one she ever held)

My mom has actually grown to like them a bit (she really likes my baby geckos). She has never been scared. She just doesn't want to have to wash her hands so she doesn't touch them.
My dad thinks they are cool, but I think he feels they are a waste of time and money.

Then there's people who won't come into my house or room because they are deathly afraid of the buggers no matter how much explain about them. I get asked if they can kill me, or if I've been bitten.

My favorite reaction is when someone just looks at me like I'm a wierdo, as if I didn't know that already!
