Hey guys,

This past weekend, my husband and I brought home two new snakes from Tinley Park. Everyone close to us knew that we already had 3 snakes in our home. This trip was also our honeymoon, by the way.

We are now getting slammed with comments from family members and friends, saying things like, "you are crazy, I am never coming over", "YUCK!", "some romantic honeymoon, looking at snakes", "you need to get a life", "your snakes will kill your cats", and more. Neither of us push our love for snakes on anyone and don't bring them up to people who aren't fond of them. We wait until they say something. We are getting so sick of hearing this from people, mostly family members and are to the point that we don't want anything to do with them. Neither of us says anything negative about the things they love that aren't for us.

We've even tried educating them (slowly), about snakes and reptiles in general. Thanks for letting me vent, it's nice to be able to talk to people who have the same interest that we do and understand.
