It looks like gals are winning so far, but I also feel that guys are a bit more likely to be snake owners. I am a corn snake breeder, and out of curiosity I went through my customer list and calculated the percentage of male vs. female buyers, and this is what I got: Approximately 52% were guys, and 48% were gals. I know that a fair amount of these customers were parents buying snakes for their kids or entire families, but if they are the person initiating the transaction and paying for the snake, I would assume they also have some part in its ownership and / or care. It will be interesting to see how this poll comes out. I kind of wonder if gals might be more likely to post on forums than guys, and if that could skew the results?
