So someone on FB posted some thing about why Australia is crazy and the first 5 pics were awesome snake pictures, and it made me want to go even more LOL. Her and all her friends were freaking out about the big snakes. I don't get it, they are fascinating...and I kinda want to snuggle them (ok, so I am still a real female deep down)
So a question to the girls here. Do you ever feel like a bit of a freak for being into snakes/herps? I have some close friends who know I keep them but I don't talk about them regularly (even though I feel like I want to a lot of the time), because they are understandably grossed out by them. I say understandably only because it seems to be the general consensus, especially amongst women.
I posted on FB when I got my first BP. My mom wasn't surprised when I got him (I have been a herp lover/catcher/owner all my life) but her jaw dropped when I told her I had 3...I plan to have a lot more than 3 LOL. I won't be posting about any other BPs I have...at least not in front of these friends.
So do you ever feel uncomfortable telling people (or certain people) about your hobby, or are you totally comfortable in your skin and don't care who knows what you do? Maybe I just have a confidence problem.
