People will always judge. I either get good compliments for keeping snakes, or unfair ones. Either way I don't care what people think because I don't want to waste my time being sad or depressed about what some people think. I love snakes and it will always be that way, no matter who likes it or not. I'm 14 and have 9 snakes at the moment, and nothing's going to stop me from getting more in the future. I've also gotten quite a few people to handle my snakes and end up liking snakes when before they were frightened and thought of snakes as gross & scary.
