And there are lots of kids under 12 in my circle, so it gives uncle bruce a fair bit of cachet... and you cannot beat that.

My family is more interested inthe market aspect of it in comparison to the hobby aspect, how we (snake people) connect and what that looks like. We have good talks about it, so it is all good.

I do notice the little ones enjoy them a lot! I live in a development and all my neighbors kids flock over to my house whenever they see me outside to ask me questions. After they knew I take care of them and "make babies" it was a rap. I'm sure all their parents loved that

Its really the older generations that frown harshly upon reptiles. My grandmother thinks its horrible what I do, and somewhat shuns me for it now. She thinks cramming them into tubs and not exposing them to their natural environment is cruel and just doesn't understand how a tub can fit their housing needs. This sucks just because my grandma is someone I am very close to and think very highly of, and she thinks my hobby is for weirdo's and cruel people I guess...I usually don't talk about it anymore when shes around.
