My family and friends have a standard comment "As long as you know what you're doing?". The reality is they are aware of my passion, knowledge and respect that I have for snakes. On occasion I do get the "What if the snake grabs the baby (8 months)?". I just reply with "It won't happen". We all have that one friend that just gets on your nerves who coincidentally is scared of snakes, my problem is solved. I just tend to look at the positives of owning snakes and educating when the opportunity arises.

Good thread.
