Haha! I completely get where you're coming from. I took eggs due to hatch with me to NC this past week, and was so excited when they hatched, but no one in my family could understand my excitement.

My brother was the closest to being excited, but he mainly does capture and release of the wild snakes native to NC (he's a photographer, so he keeps them for about 24 hours to photograph then releases).

My mom hates snakes, my dad tries to show interest, but none of them can understand why ANYone would want to buy them! LOL

Oh, and my brother took some pictures of the babies and posted it on jpgmag.com and one person commented "very cool, but very dangerous stuff!"

Congrats on your first pied - she's gorgeous!!!!
