I get the ignorant comments now and again, but I can usually back myself up.

Recently my mother discovered my snake obsession over facebook and I was greeted with a conversation over christmas dinner about how they are so dangerous. Uh huuuuuuh. Even my Aunt, a nurse, said she has never seen an infected reptile bite but she does see tons of infected cat bites.

Mother still isn't talking to me. :/ She can't seem to get over the fact I have a lot of snakes and I went against her wishes.

Oh well, she will get over it.. I keep telling myself.
