    Re: How do you deal with negative reactions about your reptile keeping?

    I have dealt with the ignorance of others on more then one occasion. My own mother hates snakes and rats and will not even step foot into my house. I am fine with that because I really don't want her here anyways, we do not get along. I get so many negative comments from people I know. Like why do you keep snakes and rats in the first place. My response is because it is something that I love to do and I enjoy keeping reptiles, particularly snakes. People are so grossed out about my pet rats too. I love rats, they make awesome pets! They are more intelligent then some of the people I have encountered. I think Wes hit home with his response. You can always count on him for solid and sound advice.
