Yeah, I mean I really try to keep it to myself. But honestly, you should just tell them right off the bat. Be honest, if they can't accept you for you who are and what things you love then they are not worth your time if they can't respect you for it. Why do you like cats? Why do you like dogs? Everyone has a favorite pet. It's what i've learned after the list of guys i've chased off after telling them I owned snakes, and want to breed them eventually. Hah. Yeah, I love it when their eyes look like they are going to fall out their head.

Steve. I think I get that reaction quite a few times a day, considering I work full time I tell most everyone who comes in and goes "ew" at the snakes that I have quite a few and most people misunderstand them.
