In the short time I've had a snake, I've already been able to show a few friends that snakes aren't evil creatures. But for the most part my friends figured it was only a matter of time before I get some exotics into the mix, I love animals and they know it.

My sister also expected it but my mother was kinda shocked (mainly because she is deathly afraid of snakes). Hopefully I can eventually get my mother to warm up to snakes.
