I just recently acquired my first Ball Python, and the nasty comments I've been receiving on Facebook have been astonishing and eye opening... I posted this little blurb and I can now post pictures of Noodles in peace!

"Regardless of how you feel about someone else's pets, whether they be reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, rats, or even cats and dogs, please show some respect. It's NOT OK to make jokes about killing them, saying how disgusting you think they are, or behaving as though they have a contagious disease... I completely understand that people have fears and phobias and are completely entitled to their own opinions, but please remember that these animals, no mater how odd, unusual, or weird, are our beloved pets."
