Most people on this board are generally respectful of animals, regardless of whether or not a particular kind irks them a bit.

The world is full of people raised to ignorantly fear certain animals so much, they can't even handle it's likeness. My mother wouldn't watch tv shows with snakes or bats on them, and would freak out if a stuffed animal snake touched her. On another message board I frequent, an arachnid owner was bullied into posting her images of tarantulas and scorpions as links in the pet thread instead of posting the image.

If there's no policy against it, do what you want. Just be a good advocate for the species and be willing to answer questions and don't respond rudely when met with ignorance. Let people see that you have a gentle and discreet animal worthy of respect.
