I know what you mean!! When I was getting my snake my mum put it on facebook (she's not a snake fan) and people I dont even though (as well as others I do) put stuff like "Urrrr thats horrible, cant believe someone would want an animal like that theyre all slimy" etc etc etc.......... How can they judge like that when they obiously don't know ANYTHING about snakes!! And they're not 'slimy'!!!! My snakes LOVELY!!!
