As soon as i say Python, they are like, "oooooooh can't they like eat you?" it is so annoying.

oh, and my father seams to think that anybody that has a snake has piercings, tattoos, and is lower class. Has anybody else found that people think that? it annoys the hec outa me.

any other experiences with this? If so, how do i convince people like that that no, my snake is not going to eat them.
Unfortunately in my town there is still a taboo on keeping reptiles....I've gotten really bad looks from people if they have overheard me talking about my snakes.

By the way Amy I thought you said in another thread that your dad liked snakes now, and wants a Green Tree Python or other snake of his own?
