That definitely sounds about right! There was an incident last year (it may be the same one) of an irresponsible owner leaving either a Burm or a retic in an unsecured enclosure, and 2 boys died. So of course I heard the same things... as for the rest, yes. Parts of my family are Evangelical, so I have demons in my house. I ignore them, because there is no way in the world I'll change their minds.

I've calmed down about things, I think. I have realized that I was being tantrum-y about it. If they want to learn, I will gladly teach them. If they want to meet the boys, I won't hesitate.
