My ex husband was terrified of snakes, so while we were married, no snakes for me. (there's a reason he is an ex). My current husband, however, while not a huge fan, totally supports my keeping snakes, and even helps out with cleanings, and of disposing of any rejected rodents, which get fed to the hawk that lives in the trees behind our house.
I have wondered about the male/female ratio of snake fanciers. Here in NC, it seems like more men than women are snake fans. Whenever we meet new people, most of them don't really believe that the snakes are mine; just like they didn't believe that I was the one who owned the vintage bike.
My advice, any men who can't handle scaley pets, are not worthy of your attention!
