Yeah this is how i SHOULD reply when people ask me why i keep snakes. Granted i work at Petsmart and 90% of the people that come in own dogs and think snakes are either deadly or gross.

The most common questions i get are:
Why do you have snakes?
You have how many??!?!?
What do you feed them??!?

Other than that, it's not to bad cause i prefer to inform people rather than be defensive. Most of the time they aren't going to hear it no matter what you do, or they will listen a little and leave smarter than when they came in.
