XD Before I got mine, I was telling one family in my neighborhood that I was going to be getting one. However, the question wasn't, :Is it dangerous? (everyone asks that about my bearded dragons though, or they'll ask: Will it bite?)
The question was: Aren't they boring?
....They may not be able to be handled as much as lizards, but I definitely wouldn't say the snakes are boring! (However I've had mine for only 5 days,)
I do expect to get some questions like 'won't it eat you' at some point. XD
