I had people accuse me of just trying to get breeding stock, free snakes, and such (just recently) by doing so. I never orginally planned to breed, or do the taking in of snakes( heck I never planned to own more than 5-8 )when I started to actually look at snakes. I have considerd stop taking in any more snakes due to these people rude remarks and such.

I will be limiting my collection and thinning it down a lot over the next year I believe until I can actually own a place to have everythign I need ( mainly room to do it right) it sucks that it may never happen since being on disablity mean I will never really have money or the ablity to do it full time on my own.

I need to look into getting the proper class,training and such and see what I can do in getting properly set up to do rescues, and such snce the SPCA in DE does not handle reptile related calls.

Yeah i have had my fare share of rude calls, and people asking me if i will take Burmese Pythons etc and i politely say no and direct them to a place that will take in there pet that i can't legally own. But i haven't had any people accusing me of wanting free snakes although i thought that might be a problem when i first decided to do this. I limited myself to 6 snakes total i have 4 at the moment i haven't had any calls as of recently but thats because my post expired and i don't feel i need more reptiles to care for right now until i move in the next 2 months. Then i will have 2 acres of back yard so ill be building a big shed for all my snakes, but im going to hold off on the rescues for now. Thank you for your nice comment.
