I've always felt like there were quite a few women on the forum and I've seen quite a few ladies at shows, although it seems like there are more women making purchases at shows now.
That's one thing that seems to be changing too, at shows anyway. When I first attended reptile shows, some vendors literally would not talk to me or acknowledge me standing there, as if I were not interested in spending actual money on a snake. I would have to get their attention, as they passed me by to talk to guys who walked up after me. Now they are more quick to ask me if I'm interested in an animal. I like it.

Re: 2017 Gender Poll!
Granted I am young, and I haven't seen much change since this is my first time keeping, I am a female and have noticed quite a fair amount of other girls who are into the hobby also. It's quite interesting! In fact, the only people who have not shown any interest in my ball python after showing pictures were all males.

1.0 here. I vend at shows and it wouldn't surprise me to see a near 50/50 split. Doesn't seem to be more of one than the other from what I've seen.
To avoid any politically correct issues, the poll should probably ask for our sex.

Re: 2017 Gender Poll!
I am a male.
...and speaking of which, life would be easier if there was a dating site for reptile keepers. Occasionally, I'll be talking to a girl and I get to the point where she asks me what my hobbies are.....and I honestly answer.....only to never get another response LOL!
Sorry, the boa was here before you hun, she's the main girl in my life

That's such a good point ... my wife just 'tolerates' my collection of 20 snakes which isn't really an ideal situation ..

Re: 2017 Gender Poll!
The results were somewhat even, 47.32% of us are guys and 50.89% are gals. And 1.79% Identify as something else at the time of this comment. How interesting!

Re: 2017 Gender Poll!
Oddly enough in my experience visiting women / young women are far more interested in my collection of snakes than any of the male family and/or friends .
The younger members of the family under 18 seem equally at ease wether male or female !?!?! Can't explain why or even what it suggests though .
More often than not - females are more interested and eager to hold snakes wheras the male visitors seem either completely disinterested or even terrified of even going near one of the display vivs nevermind going into the the reptile room

Same here! More often my girl friends are both more interested in snakes. And more often, the guys either have a fear of snakes or just less interested.
ETA: UHH I just realized the forum bumped up a thread from weeks ago, as it does sometimes lol.
