If you fancy a rant about anything herp related, this is the place to do it. Maybe someone else will have the same annoying herp related rant as you. Give it a go, I will kick it off:
I am sick and tired of people thinking that there is something wrong with me for keeping exotics. My family are all either afraid of snakes or spiders, and I have both. Some of them refuse to visit me as they are in total fear one of them will get loose and 'kill them'. Why can't people realise that I knw what I am doing and that my animals are secure in their enclosures. Obviously you can't start moving viv's around just so visitors are comfortable, but I did use to move my spiders and scorpions into a different room if people with a fear of them decided to visit, but no, I'm not doing it any more! I've had enough of it. If they have a problem with my pets then its simple; don't come around! I have one friend that has a yorkshire terrier and its a total psycho, if you go any where near it you get bitten, and he refuses to put a mussle on it while its in the house as 'its his home'. But when he comes to my house he wants me to remove all of my spiders into another room incase they 'break free' and decide to attack him. People shoud know better, and know that an arachnid or rep will not hunt them down just for the fun of it. It just makes me mad!
