Ah, just :flames: Sharon Osbourne.
Yay for Simon!
I, personally, would have said, "Nah, that's be a waste of Harvey. I'd rather let him loose in your house. At night." :grin01:

This is an amusing thread really, because whatever any1 says, we are not going to be taking much notice and defo not going to be giving up snakes because of a remark....
but my 12yro daughter said "mum yr really weird, nooo totally weird, why do u want a snake, dont expect me to sit in same room, house, village etc as snake.... (by the way snake was already bought) :sidestep:
thats it im going to disown u as a mother, etc this went on for like days and days (snore) then she comes out with the ultimate statement......
how would you like it if Alan (my hubby) went and got a spider :eek1: as a pet? double :eek1:
easy i said, i would throw him out!
her answer: fine go get yr bags mum!!!!!
i had to laugh :roflmao:
but we now have 2 snakes in the house, and i actually heard her say the cute word the other day!!! hmmm

what a fantastic thread!
My bf was scared of snakes when i first met him. Turned a nice shade of pinky-white the first time he came over to my house and saw a couple nice big tanks. "What's in those?" "Snakes" "oh....."
I took out my amel, Sem, the big sweetheart who has never bitten or even gotten into strike pose for me or anyone else and simply plopped her into his hands. He froze and sat there with a completely shocked look on his face and his hands just TREMBLED!!! but after about 3 seconds he was like, "hey, this is kinda cool" and now he's totally fine with them and even looking forward to helping me with the breeding plans of next year!
I've never had anything mean/bad said to me about my snakes other than the occasional shudder from someone. I like to take Sem out with me in the summer when I go errand-ing. Especially to work. I work at Blockbuster so on my days off I go in there with her cause all me co-workers (save one) really like her and I constantly get customers coming up to me asking what kind of snake she is and can they touch her? The one employee told me that he's not scared of snakes, he just doesn't like them and I totally respect that so I stay away from him if he's working that day. It just amuses me though to see him, even if I'm 10 feet away, he's always got one eye on the snake

Hehe, I've never really had anything mean said to me either, except from my grandma. I'm just happy that she's not one of those types that hate only snakes. She doesn't like anything "slimy", including lizards and stuffs.
I would take Rose out with me too, but the only word I know to describe her would be bitchy, and she likes to leap places. With no legs. So I bring my ball python places instead.

This is a great thread. And I am personally amazed that so many people were able to discuss religion without things turning nasty.
People are, amung other things, completely irrational. For example I have a terrible irrational fear of sharks. I live in Indiana. For those of you in the UK...there are no sharks here I even have read about and consistantly watch shark week on the discovery channel. I would even wager I know more about sharks that "most people." I know the odds of a shark actually eating me (assuming I actually went in the ocean which I don't) is about as high as me winning the lottery.
Yet I am quite literally paralyzed with fear when I go to an aqaurium with sharks. Don't ask me to explain it because I cannot.
Perhaps many people have the same fear of snakes?
Of course there is a big differance between phobia and ignorance.
I do love the "god said snakes are evil," arguement though.
I force myself to remember that for every hypocritical "religeous" person that uses the bible or whatever faith for their own selfish purposes, that there is a person who embodies the good things those faiths stands for.
I hope no one takes those last statements personally. It wasn't meant to offend.

Like others have said, I can understand people with genuine phobias, but it's the people with the "Eeew, they've got no legs; Let's kill it" attitude that make me mad.
I love the "God hates snakes" argument. I'm Catholic, and so are my neighbors, and none of us hates snakes, except for their mom, but I think a snake ate her pet rat or something.
