    Is there really a huge controversy over reptile ownership??

    I just recently got my first ball python. I owned a skink as a kid, never thought of owning a reptile as "weird." How is it any different than owning a hamster or gerbil? Particularly the snakes... it didn't occur to me that people would be so critical/passive aggressive over someone owning a ball python, but I'm kind of picking up on that. I'm failing to see the issue with it?? Is it merely a phobia thing? Religious? Who the hell goes around judging people for their pets, of all things? Please tell me if there's a legitimate controversy here or if it's just an overblown myth, because I've never blinked an eye over owning a reptile and it seems absurd that anyone would be bugged by it.
