Well, after today's news about a python killing a toddler, over on another message board a thread with the title "The only good snake is a dead snake" appeared. The person was adamant (and the ignorance/hate overwhelming), as were others who chimed in. After finally getting a snake (which will become a much loved family pet), that title alone is so hurtful.
Makes it doubly nice to have found this forum.
How do you guys deal with such snake hate?Of course, owners who don't make sure their snakes can't escape and then call it a "stupid snake" only fan the flames.
