Reaction of family/friends to your snakes

[FlynnTheBP]

Forgot to mention this point as well .....

One funny thing I've noticed is that when we have visitors to the the house I'd say that 95% of the adult males are either completely uninterested OR terrified of the snakes whilst the adult females are interested OR positively intrigued ( wanting to handle ) ...

I'd say 90% of all under 18 were really positive and interested - the lads especially not so much the girls .. but hardly any children are terrified or disgusted or anything . Generally kids are dead keen but I don't let any of them hold the snakes ever ...


So what goes on in people's minds as they grow older ... ??

Actually Zincubus, I noticed exactly the same thing. Usually it's women and young/teenage boys asking about my reptiles, but most men just seem to have some sort of adverse idea against snakes. Of course there are plenty of exceptions, but in my family that's basically how it works.
