Who else gets this from family? No one is supportive of my dh and I having a snake, let alone 3 of them. We are already talking about adding a fourth (by summer) and they think we are crazy. We are also looking into breeding but that will be a few years from now at least. My brother called me tonite and gave me the third degree for having snakes He thinks it is wrong to have snakes b/c one of my dd's likes mice and rats. Well my other dd asked for a snake?? He went into this big thing about how my other dd likes rats and it's cruel for her to see the snake eat (we haven't fed them yet and we are not planning to let our kids know what they eat yet). Basically he tried to make me feel horrible for even owning a snake b/c it eats rats and my one dd loves them He ended the convo with a snarky comment and "well whatever you want to do I guess but just be careful" We have had a snake before so this isn't something new, but I'm bothered about why this irritates him so??

Ugh! Anyone else?
