I'm totally in the same boat. Everyone around me here thinks I'm nuts, gross, or have lost my mind. The only person that enjoys them now with me is my husband. They do understand how much I love them, my birthday present from my mom was my new coral snow, but they do NOT like them. I think if they had some experience and some education they would enjoy them also. My husband always said absolutely no snakes, and now he enjoys them almost as much as I do. So I really love this forum! It's nice to show off my babies to people who enjoy them also. And every single one of my babies have come from people on this forum.
