People just don't get the snakes. So you can't really share that sort of stuff like you would want. Most of my friends are "scared of snakes". Thankfully, we are converting my daughters friends, one at a time. So she will have some friends that don't think her snakes are creepy. However, she does have one friend who isn't allowed to come to our house because of them. Stupid people.

    It's the same for me. My friends don't care at all, but it can kill a conversation with a stranger really fast. Doesn't help that I immediately (and most likely irreparably) dislike anyone that doesn't tolerate/like snakes... it severely limits the amount of people on the planet that I like

    I experience the same here. People hear you keep snakes and they think your nuts. Hell my wife is so tired of me getting on here shes about to leave me if I don't cool it. Maybe that would be a good thing anyone looking g for an old man, I cook good work hard and love reptiles oh yeah did I say I love reptiles. I wouldn't know how to act if I was married to someone that got excited about a new pick up.
