    I have no snake owning friends

    I have tons of friends and i have maintained touch with hundreds of people, now that I started college I have managed to meet a couple dozen people in three weeks, and develop 3 new friends and the rest are pretty good acquaintances.

    But not a single person I know (aside from that one jerk who killed all his snakes whom I don't talk to) owns a snake.

    True it's a potentially untapped market, but... you know... it's just not the same as having someone I can sit around and talk to about morphs. All I have is you guys.

I have 5 Very Good friends who are Seriously into reptiles (Go to expos & are addicted) and maybe around 10-15 who have some as pets.. I also got a few of my cousins into reptiles as well....

    I think my not owning a car may have something to do with this.

    Re: I have no snake owning friends

    Pretty much all my close friends hated snakes until they started hanging around the house now my roomate owns one and jointly owns one with me. One of our friends bought one of our balls off of us. And another one of my friends just recently bought a baby red tail boa.

    Just show your friends how friendly and fun your snakes can be and they will eventually turn to the dark side haha.

    Re: I have no snake owning friends

    In my family I am the only one that keeps snakes, and with the exception of the people I've met from the forum at events etc I have no snake keeping friends. Then again I am also the only one with a Guinea Pig too...

    Re: I have no snake owning friends

    I feel your pain too. I have some acquaintances that have/had snakes, but it's not the same as having friends who are into snakes. A couple friends from work are into reptiles but neither own any right now (one used to have a couple of GTPs). Mostly I babble about reptiles to my boyfriend, and he does a pretty good job of pretending to listen.
