My mother is deathly afraid of snakes, always has been, and is horrified that I have them now. "There's something WRONG with people who feed animals to other animals!" (Forgetting that she's an animal that eats other animals, ignoring that I don't feed live, and refusing to see that feeding frozen to a snake is no different than picking up a frozen entrée for myself at the grocery store.)
My husband is the one that got me interested in the first place, so naturally he's supportive.
I'm a priest, and so people at my church joke with me a lot, but when I post pictures on Facebook, many of them remark on how pretty they are. One woman has even gotten to the point where she thinks they're cute!
I try to be an ambassador for them. Scales are just as loveable as fur!
