I can't say I've ever felt like a freak, although I'm sure that's what some would think of me haha.. As for talking about them, I usually don't bring them up, it's my fiancé and his mom that tell people. Sometimes they are curious and ask questions which I love any opportunity to educate. Others times it's just a weird look and no further interest after that. I'd say it's a 50/50 split on reactions positive/negative. As for FB, I post pics every now and then when I get a new addition or take a really kool photo. But I keep it to a minimum because I don't get a lot of interest out of friends and family is usually the ones that think it's gross lol and I never post feeding pics on there because I respect some not wanting to see that. That's why I love this community, and other reptile related groups, shows, etc because I really truly get to be me
