Along those same lines Bowser. I remember my grandmother(whom I also love every much) was worried that I was in the occult becuase I liked dungeons and dragons years ago, though she is absolutely fascinated by my reptiles.
I told a friend of mine, when I have my own home I will have a reptile room where all of my reptiles will be kept, so if someone comes over who is offended by reptiles will still feel welcome. To that he responed ":explitive: that! if they are offended by reptiles they don't deserve your company!"
