LOL it's unfortunate but there are those who remain firmly uneducated about reptiles and herps.......I was chatting with a guy on Yahoo one night (we belong to the same interest group, um, another interest!!) I told him I had snakes and he got really intersted, I was happily explaining the logistics of keeping pythons when his real interest in them emerged.......when he asked if there was an "erotic" angle on keeping them, I had lots of very quick backpedalling to do, and explaining that was the furthest thing from my mind!!!!
Not sure I want to talk to anyone about them now!!!!!
