I'm sorry, but any normal human being would likely be more concerned about the four dogs than the tiny snakes. I got bit in the face by a nasty dog when I was younger(only opened the sliding glass door and WHAM, yay for scars on faces near the eyes).

I've also been bit by the Ball Pythons... Wow.. The tiny needle punctures.. Wait! Where'd they go? I got bit? See that little mark there?! (friend says 'where?') You say, "here! Right here, that little... Oh wait, that's a freckle, nevermind.. ".

Yeah...

Give me the snake bites anyday. I know what it's like getting bit by mammals and I would rather get bit by my 8.5ft boa than a dog or cat. Never had a snake bite get infected either. I still have a large scar where my cat decided that getting an injection hurt and he was going to bite me. This is from 1.5 months ago, LOL. Got bit a few weeks ago by a baby ball and *snort* can't find it!

Tell them they're crazy and once you get a rabid lemur, THEN they can gripe at you for endangering your children. *big eye roll*
