You'll never get the same respect. Just not going to happen... and that shouldn't bother you one bit.
Ball pythons are unique and beautiful creatures. People never like what they're afraid of, but as long you and your snake are happy and safe, it doesn't matter. Don't try to seek anyone's approval but your own (and your snakes'!)
Get off the computer and go play with one of your snakes. You'll feel better. In fact, I think I'm going to do the same and say hi to Sebastian (my blue-eyed leucistic.)
