Why do some reptile enthusiasts have a problem with ball pythons.

[Vasiliki]

I'm more of a leopard gecko guy myself, still wading into the balls, but I admit there isn't as much attention or following for Leo's that I've seen. And Leo keepers are more snobby in my opinion, versus ball keepers.

So, as indicated above, it's just jealousy! Like when people cry about more boas on SnakebytesTV haha!

The jealousy and haughty attitudes are legit. Drives me bonkers. Someone locally mocked me openly for not having a boa. I'm like: "Boas are too big for me."

The response? "You can always make room for a boa. You can make it work. Saying you can't is just making excuses. And you can't say that you're a herper until you have something more than some geckos and a corn snake. Until then, maybe leave the serious conversations to us, or come back when you have some experience."

Wowee! Amazing how people can get sometimes. I still don't have a boa But I do have a BP coming.

This really reminds me of grade 1-6. "What do you mean you don't have ______? Wow. You suck. All of US have that. And YOU don't. Guess we know who the cool person ISN'T!"
