    Would you say you have a big ego when it comes to your herps?

    I know I am, that's all I ever want to talk about. And I love to show them off.
    That "Ooh, Ahh!" reaction is a great feeling.
    I love teaching people that they shouldn't be feared, but respected.
    And I adore it when I help a friend get over a fear of them.

    Not sure if ego is the right word.

    I am proud of my collection, but very humble in comparison to what is out there.

    I love my collection, and I love that other people enjoy the them as well. I love talking herps but that's because it is my hobby. If someone doesn't like the same morph/species/ or reptiles in general it doesn't bother me because everyone has their ownikes and dislikes

    I wasn't comfortable with using the word ego, but I couldn't think of any other word that would be even close. xD
    There are plenty of snakes that I could only own in my dreams.

    No ego, but I am certainly proud of what I own and feel very fortunate that I'm able to own them - I've worked hard to save up and get the snakes I want and the supplies I need. I certainly found my passion for snakes, and although I can't really talk about them much with anyone other than my bf (since family and coworkers don't seem to particularly care IMO) it doesn't make me enjoy them any less.

    Re: Would you say you have a big ego when it comes to your herps?

    not really but i do enjoy talking snakes with other snake owners it's always interesting to know what their experiences have been like owning snakes as well as future plans wether it be breeding or a new species. now for those who don't like snakes im not into arguments because they don't like them i simply continue my love for reptiles even if they have nothing nice to say it doesn't stop me.

    I wouldn't go as far as saying I am self rightous or egotistical about my knowledge or collection, but that's not to say that I am not proud of both. I guess it's a fine line. I try not to come off as cocky but I'm sure it may come across that way sometimes.. LOL
