Snake reactions from your family and friends

[Dianne]

I’ve only recently shared some photos of my critters on FB, mostly the newest 4 BP’s because I was so excited to get them. I don’t have a huge FB friend list, maybe 20-25, predominantly family and close friends, so the majority already know I’m a snake nut. There’s only one friend, his wife, and one of my sisters that are into reptiles, so they are always positive. A couple of cousins will remark on their beauty, even if they wouldn’t get near them with a ten foot pole.

I’ve only had one person make a really negative comment (kill it, run over it with my Suburban), which was easy enough to delete from my thread. I understand his post, he is terrified of snakes...truly phobic. He most likely was quite unhappy when a large picture of a snake popped up on his feed. He has been to my house, and does okay because the snakes are in a separate room in locking cages. There is no chance of a slithering surprise in the living room and he can’t seem them, so they aren’t there. lol

So with that long winded reply, enjoy posting your babies. As others have said, you could be the catalyst that changes someone’s perspective or makes them take a step towards getting one of these incredible animals. And you can always post here for the positive feedback.
