Reading some of these and I feel so lucky?

My friends are all fine with it and love handling them for the most part.

My family is the same pretty much. My mother doesnt like the whole feeding aspect but offered to loan me $100+ for vet bills when my blood python became ill, and they always atleast pretend to be interested in them when we meet up. Often I send pics of them to my mom and she will ask about them and reply with dog/cat pictures. They hope i wont get more, but know i will and i know they will always be supportive
