Sex of Corn Snake Owners: Do Girls out number Boys.

[PSYCOSNAKEMOM]

It's only human to get off track...or only snake (like)

:-offtopic AND DON'T I KNOW IT. BAD SAM, BAD......undefinedWow a blast from the past. I was just thinking this AM as I was trying to finish off the last of the breeding pairs from doing their thing. "Boy it should would be nice to get back on the forum and chat a bit." I am guessing that everyone is busy with the breeding season. BUT to add my extra two cents......yes I am a "girl" with cornsnakes but I know boys with them and I did have a Boa when I was in college many many years ago. Because I now have 16 cornsnakes does that tip the scales on the side of female owners? sam

Well I want to answer too
Girl obviously. Who knows what sex snake cause I don't have it yet.
Sooo everyone appears to be sharing other info as well.

21 years old, living in south Jersey. 5'10" uh...140lbs XD (meat market!) I live at home with my mother, father and the zoo *see signature* I'm a full time student at my local community college and I work part time at petco. I'm rather behind in schooling due to my community college being all about money. I went to a tech school for 2 whole years, out of 4 semesters I only got one B and the rest were all A's. They refused to accept any of my credits. So I started out again as a freshman! Now I only have one year left to go, but I really hate being 21 and not having even finished community college yet. I went to the tech school for multimedia, with a diploma. Started at community college with a major in "Visual Communications" I ended up changing my major to: General Studies in the Humanities, so that the school could no longer screw me over and require me to take classes that I aced already. I want to be an Art History major and freelance art on the side
Um lets see.... I have a boyfriend of almost 4 months now, crazy thing we met on myspace, and he's 9 years older than me. That just sounds like a recipie for disaster doesn't it? But he's a great guy and loves animals as well and is very tolerant if not an enabler of my animal obsession and that's just the kinda guy I need.
Rightly so you guys should be able to tell I'm animal obsesed. Even when I came home from the hopsital my parents owned about 8 parakeets, one of them only born a few months before me, so I grew up with the birds literally. Animals have always been apart of my life, it seems as if every so often I get the inclination to venture into new types of animals, I tend to then be a flurry of obsession and reciting book smart facts on my desired animal of choice. As you can also probally tell, I always get it! Lucky only child right?

A Response

Male, Mixed descent and own snakes, dogs and just love critters period.

Age: 20, Height/Weight: 6' 205lbs

Majors: Physics and Mechanical Engineering (Currently in process of obtaining degrees in both); math and electrical engineering minors are other objectives

Religious: I'm a monothiest, and a member of one of the more predominant religious groups here in the states but I'm not very likely to discuss religion unless someone's brought it up and no I won't shove anything down you're throat.

Political: They're everywhere in life, bust to learn to be diplomatic and assertive, vote even if ain't worth much has always been my philosophy.

Okay, something's got to be wrong with the poll because I KNOW there are more of us than them. :sidestep:

I am almost 57, BA in Criminal Justice, work for the government and Muslim. I have one husband (who gets critters and then losses interest so I then get more interested in them than he does), 2 black lab mixes who were strays, a slew of birds, two older snakes that were bought from a co-worker because he got a girl, got a house, got married and is now going to have a baby. (Om, his wife not him.) I fell so in love with the snakes that I bought my baby, Gaia and about a month ago we adopted a green iguana, Lizzy.

In my defense I must state that I was raised by my grandparents who at different times owned geese, ducks, chickens, a goat, birds, turtles and dogs.

Now, coming from a family that has 'Zoo' like tendencies, my uncle who in Native American culture (I am Mohican) is my Dad, wonders when the zoo is going to force us out of the house.

Oh, yeah, our pond in the yard has a big old poopy-brown bull frog in it.

Okay, that's me. :crazy02:

 

[Mrs InsaneOne]

Well I could only vote once, but technically in this house we have 3 female snake owners and the ages vary widely. There's myself who is um.. the parent.. yeah.. I'm older then some but far from the oldest. That works.. Our daughters are both under 18 right now but they each have thier own snake that they picked out personally and both are looking forward to the day I say they can get a second.

Religion: Undefined - I believe but am not certain what the truth is. If that makes sense. Was baptised as a Presbyterian (sp?) though.
Work: Freelance Graphics Designer and Webmaster used to do computer repair.

Only other person in my family that really likes snakes as much as I do is my little sister. Both my parents can't stand snakes and my dad thinks the only good one is a dead one.

girl

i think two things that catch geeks eyes are snakes and swords... wonder why that is...

25 female, obese enough to not want to post actual numbers tyvm.

my house is close to having two snakes (my Xerxes is coming thursday), and both people in my house who own snakes are girls.

:shrugs: it seems like we girls outnumber the boys when i read the forums, maybe we just arent voting?

 

[lordstar52]

here my vote

I am a man so is my brother but my mom is a female so that is 2 for males 1 for females

 

[v_various]

I am a man so is my brother but my mom is a female

I...would hope your mom is female and your brother is a man. What is the alternative? "I am a man and my brother is a girl, but my mom is male"?
:grin01:

For the record, I'm a girl with two lovely boy snakes. I wasn't going to post in a thread so old, but I guess the interest in this just won't die off. Mind you, if I really want to know about someone I read their profiles. Most you have nothing filled out.

[Velvet]

Oh as a side note...

I once saw a questionairre (for people) that had three options for gender:
Male
Female
Other (What else is there!?!?!?! lol)

 

[lalaith]

uh velvet

do you really want to know?

 

[v_various]

ya, I live in a big city and know lots of strange people. You better believe there is an 'other' option. My old roommate is currently going through the M to F transition right now, it's rather interesting to keep updated on. Yep, gender is not as binary as some believe. Weather your a guy in a girls body, a crossdresser/dragqueen, full out transexual, or prefer androgyny. But I'm no expert, just a girl who hangs out with a variety of people.

but maybe that is a little too involved for a corn snake board.

Transgender, pre-op or post-op, hermaphrodite, indeterminate, XY females, XYY males, etc. There are many shades of grey when it comes to gender. As gender reassignment surgery and other lifestyle choices become more available and accepted, the questionaires have to change with the times.

My girlfriend actually got ME into the whole reptiles thing.

 

[Malaika]

Genders!

I actually just discussed this anthropologically recently. In other civilizations, there are more genders than just two. Waaay more. They consider lesbians, gay men, transexuals, etc, genders. Also on a rather freaky note, there are a few civilizations where there is very little medical help and hermaphrodites grow without losing one gender or the other at birth, as would typically happen in the USA. Some of these hermaphrodites are called pubescent males/females because once they hit puberty, they suddenly sprout a penis/vajango. These are usually raised as the other gender before puberty when suddenly they switch genders! Their family just goes 'oh, okay.' and accepts it.

Humans are amazing!

...This has been my dorky moment. I apologize to those who wasted five minutes of their lives reading it.

 

[CALIVIK]

OMG! Love this poll!! My 4yr. old DD wanted a corn snake!! That's right! So I held him & bought him, so girls rule at my house! lol
Daddy HATES him!

[Velvet]

lol Thanks Malaika, I do agree with you and I am all for being politically correct and accepting people the way they are.

However, this questionnairre was set up by a student and judging from her other answers in that particular test, I highly doubt she knew that she was being politically correct by giving those three options...

Christian, I got my BF into reps too! lol

 

[sprdonkey]

Typical my hiney..

The typical male cornsnake owner is most often a man that has a wife or girlfriend that served as the conduit for the scaley obsession. I am a woman, whos other half has been converted after a bad experience with a Boa. Can any of us really call ourselves the exclusive owners in a household where two people do all the work, love all the babies and are intimatley involved in the lives of their pets? Partners rule!!!

 

[mommyof2]

I've been watching this thread for a while, and I've got to say, I'm surprised that there are almost an equal number of male owners as females.

Sprdonkey, my boyfriend had a bad experience as well, and he STILL hasn't touched Eddy!! I take that back...when I cleaned his cage last I asked my boyfriend to take him out of the cage. I turn around and he's "scooping" Eddy out of the tank with his feeding box with this horrible "cringing" look on his face. :eek1: He looked really close at Eddy in the box(Eddy was staring back..I thought they were bonding), got a weird/scared look on his face, and hurried up and put the lid on his box, shivered and handed the box to me. :shrugs: :grin01:
