If anyone had to say a few things to describe me "loves animals especially reptiles" would be number 1... I love them so much that I can't stop talking about them and I am excited to say that my passion is spreading to my friends!
Being new to Brisbane last year I've been meeting a lot of new people - and when they hear of my 'unusual' pets (ie not dogs, cats and birds) - First reactions are often things like - "Oh I hate snakes they are so scary!", or "I like that you like them so much - but I don't".... One friend actually screamed and asked me: "Do you have to kill them when they get over a certain size?"... Being used to these kind of reactions I didn't take offense - but tried to get them all over to my house to see why I love them so much!
I am happy to announce that one by one my friends have fallen in love with my reptiles and are now planning to get their own!! The first time I had a bunch of people over I was trying to convince them to hold a snake - Now I have to decide who can go next so they don't argue haha
Is anyone else experiencing this spreading of the love??
