You're asking a group of herpers what they think about it? hehehe I can tell you what their answers are going to be! hehehe

A majority of the public see snakes as evil bitey things with big nashy nashy teeth and do no equate them with cuddly fluffy lap pets. Okay, so they are not fluffy, but I get just as much enjoyment out of my pythons and lizards as I do my dogs and cats!

It's basically a society majority thing. The average Joe on the street doesn't think of them as pets.

We should take it as a very positive sign that the general public needs more education on the issue!

My own personal opinion is that all animals should be treated with the same respect and protection and that discrimination should not be an issue.

PS: Sounds like the expert was just reading a survey too.
