Exotic pet hypocrisy

LOL. What a weird lady. I hate hamsters. I wish my corn snake would eat them. I'm sure they taste fine but he's picky and likes his mice. LOL. I can't count how many times I have been bitten by those damn hamsters. I try to pick them up and they just bite you. I bled pretty badly too..

I've never been bitten by my snakes.*knock on wood*. Yes, many people think It is very strange that I would want to have snakes for a pet.. Oh well. I would never have a hamster. I love rats though. lol
 
I think everything goes back to that fear that some people have of snakes. Something that was instilled into them as a child, because their mom or dad was afraid or they have this thought that reptiles are slimy. I get looks like that from my mother or mother in-law. Neither one of them will venture any were near the room I keep my snakes in!

And Eric; LMAO!! I can't rep you either! :realhot:

I guess I am lucky my parents kept snakes when I was young and loved when I brought home salamanders or any reptile for that matter. They encouraged me to herp, learn, and care for reptiles which was cool and is how I am raising my kids. My mother-inlaw who is not a reptile lover I think is becomming converted by me- she called 2 weeks ago to ask if she could buy my son a ball python and went herping with me and caught a cool speckled black rat. I wa freaking shocked but she has come a long way....now if she could only convert her son my beau:(

It was similar for me, my mother actually bought me my first snake, and has always let my brother and I try to find local herps. I've been fortunate too, I've yet to have someone come over and be dead set against seeing my snakes, and they usually are quite interested.
