Well I come from a southern baptist family who are a bunch of religious fanatics, My dad killed every snake he saw in the yard, poisonous and non poisonous because he said they were evil, lol. The matter wasnt ever really discussed in the house even though I always wanted one really bad, Once I told them that I wanted a gecko and he told me lizards are just snakes with legs. Now he thinks im going to burn in hell forever because I own one.
