So, to be completely honest, I was one of those people about 2 months ago. I can be close minded at times, and I always thought snakes were a weird pet that only odd people kept. Then I started dating a girl that had a normal ball python for 9 years. I still kinda thought it was odd, but I was interested in her so I gave it a chance an was open minded about it. After holding her normal BP Jasper the first time, I was instantly amazed by how cool he was. Then one day we were at petsmart buying something for her snake, and I saw a tank that was suppose to have a banana ball python in it. The snake was sold, so I googled what a banana ball python was. I was blown away! I had no idea there were such colorful pythons. A month and a half later after obsessively looking at different morphs and doing research, I now have my own Banana Pastave BP!
So, I guess I kinda understand both sides. Some people just wont ever be interested in snakes, and that's okay. But if any of my friends or family show interest and an open mind, I will have zero problems teaching them what I have learned so far about snakes.
