I always get told "I'm not bringing my pets over, yours will eat mine" I always respond with "I have cats and dogs, and smaller pets and they are alive, any dangerous animal I own is caged and locked" To this day no one has excepted that as a response.

Lol... everyone seems to think reptile keepers give their animals the run of the house lol.

OMG a friend of mine just brought is girlfriends kids over to see my snake. The 7 years old boy asked me "Can i feed his sister to Anaconda when it got bigger?" I was like what? He goes "She to bossy can i feed her to you snake." I was laughing my a-s off.

Dear lord, kids are precious!!!!

When I told my mamma I was getting a snake, she asked how big it would get. When I told her about 4', her eyes bugged out and she almost yelped "that's huge!!" ) I decided not to tell her about retics!!....yet!)

As for the feeding rodents to iguana's thing, the only field I have ever heard that being common in is those who raise iggy's for meat. They "protien-load" the babies for fast growth and good fat deposits. If you want your iggy to live a good long life, you need to give veggie based protiens. Many people will say "they eat animal/insect based protien in the wild" yes, maybe they do, but just like in any other area of animal care, well cared for domestic animals live much longer than thier wild counterparts BECAUSE of the controlled care they recieve in captivity. (ie: wild dogs lifespans are about 6-8 yrs. Our last husky cross lived to be 16, with a life-long SERIOUS medical condition!!)

When I bought my first snake...way back when..my grandma told me she was praying for my soul,...for the "devil to leave my house". ROFLMAO!!!

I've also heard these ones all too frequently:

"Snakes are slimey!"
"They're evil and they will chase you!"
"Snakes will attack you with no warning!"

My son said the best thing the other day. We where at the park and a few of us took our kids over near a pond to see if we could see any animals. First thing we saw was a snake. people scattered. I grabbed the Garter snake to show everyone that it was harmless. A man in his 30's said the snake could kill me and I should put it down. My son (Owen 5yrs old) turned around and said " are you kidding me? Its a baby and harmless. You should come see my Dad's Ball python,my corn snake and my mommy's GTP. oh and If you think snakes are scary I feel bad for you." I just sat there for a minute laughing then we told them a little about the snakes and how they where good to have around. I even got the guy to hold it and he thought it felt cool.
