Well, all I know is that I'm a woman and I've always loved all kinds of snakes for as long as I can remember. Yes, people have thought I'm crazy. But a lot of people (women included!) have also shared my love of herps. I will NEVER understand people who are afraid of or disgusted by these absolutly gorgeous animals.



BRBs are beautifully colored, they are somewhat slow moving, they have "cute" faces (IMO anyways, BRBs and Ball pythons have the most adorable faces of any snake) and they are incredibly soft. And their irredescence is amazing.



Not that all women like BRBs. But from my experience, people who are "ok" with snakes will usually take to rainbows faster than to, say, a corn snake or red tail.



I know that I am completely turned off by size. Some of my favorite snakes are retics, burms, and blood pythons. But I am intimidated by their size and strength (and what they eat). So, unfortunatly, I have to avoid keeping them. Guys OTOH, as you said, seem to think that bigger is better and somehow more macho *great big eye roll*

LOL!
