A lot of people are really surprised when they find out that I keep lots of snakes, and often they tell me that I just seem too "prim and proper" to be a snake keeper. I never thought to ask them how they envision a typical snake keeper to be. Of course there are the occasional people who get judgemental on me and announce that they won't be coming to my house any time soon.... which is just fine, since I probably did not invite them!
