As someone that has more than my share of snakes. I get the same questions all the time. I have some friends that are always egar to see the animals and some that want nothing to do with them. I explaine to the ones that don't it doesn't hurt my feeling at all everybody is different and if at any time they change their mind they are more than welcome to come over and experance the animals at a distance they are comfortable with for a time length that they are comfortable with.

I have had some converts my mom wanted nothing to do with my first snake but now she goes digging through the tubs looking at different things. Her favorite is my big female Mojave..

Then you get some like my wife..Shes been around the snakes for 6+ years and still will almost clear a room if I bring one in.

The key is to be understanding and tell people that you don't expect everyone to share your hobby and that perfectly fine, but that if they ever were curious that you be willing to explain or show them anything they want.
