What type of people keep reptiles????

**Noskcajam** · 21-Dec-04, 10:32 PM

I have been asked this question for the last time.....
So, please help me answer it.

All I am asking is:

*What do you do for a living???
*Is it fulltime/parttime/shift work???
*Do you believe you are an "Average Joe"???

Because I tried to explain that many normal (semi-normal in my case)
people have pet reptiles.

Anyway I answer:
*Computer Operator
*Shift work
*As normal as most people

But please, give me you views.

Mark.

I am a Business Develpoment Executive, Martial Artist and also fish. I also do Security on the weekends for extra cash. I am 26, married and keep herps due to my love and fascination with them. People think I am insane and crazy, but hey, who cares. Keeping Herps is one of my choices, and only my choice. There, hope that sort of answers your question..

Oh, and I am normal - sometimes!!!!!!!!

I'm going to follow in the same vein as Gregory here

I'm a fulltime draftsman for an engineering firm in Melbourne, my wife thinks I'm a freak because I love reps (particularly snakes

)! Does that count?

I think I'm pretty down to earth and probably as close as you'd get to your average Joe

This piccy here says it all I feel :wink:

I am 21, and I am a paver.
Full time when there is alot of people wanting some paving done around the house.
And I am very down to earth.
Alot of people (mostly family), think that I am strange because I keep pet snakes. I think their the strange ones for not having a love for them as myself.

What do i do for a living?I'm a landlord or property owner i guess you could say and i rarely do a thing so what class does that come under?
I'm pretty far from being an average Joe that's for sure,some say a bit of a nutter but i know i'm not a boring son of a gun

I've had a fascination for reptiles since i can remember and my family don't exactly feel as passionately about them as i do but they've had to live with it when i was growing up and now my nephew is quickly becoming a snake friek too,every time he comes over ,first thing he wants to do is go see the snakes and handle them.What gives me a kick and a bit of a laugh is he has his sort of favourite one and each time he sees him he says"isn't he just a beautiful little fella" hehe and he's 5 years old....my friends don't think i'm crazy and a few share the passion and don't think it unusual for me at ll that i keep them,always have,always will!!!

lab tech/vet nurse
full time
if i ever become 'normal' please shoot me
main stream is ***** house

but the love of herps is the love of any hobby/pet (personally i think people who keep sea monkeys are the crazy ones

)

**BROWNS** · 22-Dec-04, 03:36 AM

What is "normal" anyways?

**Tim** · 22-Dec-04, 08:31 AM

What do you do for a living? Accountant
Is it fulltime/parttime/shift work? Fulltime
Do you believe you are an "Average Joe"? Nah - always the odd one out

**Noskcajam** · 22-Dec-04, 08:56 AM

Just as I thought.... Different Jobs etc....
People that don't keep reptiles have some kind of strange idea that we are all the same.
Truth is there is no stereo type for a reptile keeper.
