So, snake wranglers/amateur herps, how do your family members/friends/roommates feel about your snakes and/or other reptiles?
My housemate is neutral towards "tank pets" even though he gets irritated by the dog and cats and is not an animal person in general - I'm convinced he views my ball python Naga as a needy pet rock.He's not afraid of her, but he has no desire to handle her.
All of my female friends are horrified at the thought of even being in the same building as a snake (even one as gentle and harmless as a ball) and I haven't even told my mother I got a python because I'm afraid she'd have a coronary on the spot. My dad had a reticulated python when they were dating (a monster named Fred) and my mother made him get rid of it before she would marry him (refused to live in the same house as a snake that could take out jumbo rats and small rabbits!)
God forbid I tell her I am planning to start a morph breeding program sometime in the future.
Anybody know some scaredy cats?
