Reactions in social circle

My dad is just scared of my snakes but he never, not even once said/asked something like "why?" or "that is dangerous" or "that's disgusting I wont come over anymore" and now after years he is starting to show more interest in my animals and he likes seeing them (also in zoo's or on tv) but he wont come close enough to touch them yet but we'll get there

My mom and sisters are a completely different story they like my snakes when they come over they always ask me if they can see them and my youngest sister has a love for my Lesser Pastel female (guess she really is like me, haha) not because she is the prettiest one but just the overall being of the snake she is inquisitive, very relaxed and she would make a great animal for educational purposes.

my mom doesn't mind holding them either, better yet I used to have a 17 feet Reticulated python and she and my youngest sister have held it.

the rest of the family doesnt know i have snakes or just never really say anything about it.

My co workers though.... some of them found out/heard me talk about it and most of them are, ugh gross and you know all the negative things people say and think that aren't true I have tried to convince them they are wrong but I just gave up on that and told them if they wanted to be that ignorant just go ahead.

Don't ever let someone else's ignorance dull your passion for the reptiles, NEVER!
