I have people who say they will NEVER come over because of my snakes and I have made sure those people I dont want over anyway are notified that I have many snakes...LOL. I think its silly but I understand keeping the peace at home and trying something once but if it was me it would be the last time. Most of my family and my wifes family dont care too much for the snakes but trust that I would do nothing to put them or my kids in any danger. If they cared enough it wouldnt matter.
