Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. This is a very interesting subject in my opinion. I think we are viewed as outcasts. I wish our public opinion was more of that like California (Shannon) but here in the thumping belt, Snakes are still evil creatures and if anyone catches wind of a collection, it is normally embelished on the news and you become the center of attention. King snakes turn into exotic vipers, hognose into cobras and so on... Then neighbors hate you...
I think I am going to keep my room locked. I will show my herps to my son from time to time as he grows older to get used to them. Talk about them. Install knowledge and confidence. Then when he gets older present him with the room and go from there. I think younger children play and brag about their parents and inadvertanley give information that may not be so popular with others.
Again thanks to everyone. Great topic and great correspondence.
