Face it - you're weird.
And so are the rest of us, according to society in general. Ha! Ha!
So your snakes have the master bedroom. You could have it worse - I read a post just the other day where a guy said that in the early years of his marriage he had a 55-gal. tank for a headboard, that had a water moccasin in it.
I do need to talk to you about your mid-life crisis, though.
"...instead of a blonde and a red sports car my midlife crisis was snakes."
I hope if I have a mid-life crisis mine involves a blonde that has a red sports car with a snake in the back seat. However, I don't think my wife will allow it.
Nah, really - enjoy what you have - any one of the three's gonna cost you a lot of money, no sense in compounding things. Ha! Ha!
If I wasn't so dang busy & broke I'd probably be having a mid-life crisis about now, myself. Caught my first snake at the age of 6, just over 40yrs ago.
I know that you didn't say you were trying to find you a woman but that your friends are, but keep in mind - by now you know that it's a lot harder to find something when you're looking for it. Enjoy the things you have & don't dwell on what you don't have and the right mate will practically show up on your doorstep eventually.
And to the woman that said, "If we are going to go out the snakes have to go," your reply should've been, "Yeah, I told your dog the same thing." ("If we're going to go out the woman has to go." Just kiddin', of course. I know how things can be said in jest or in passing and not really meant. Her being an animal lover is at least a step in the right direction.
It is society's fear of snakes that makes them view us as weird. Kids virtually know no fear, that's why, like Laura said, they're so eager to come to our house. Educating them & sharing our passion with them is our only hope of diminishing the stereotyping.
You talked about cleaning cages; sometimes I'm tired and dread cleaning cages, but every time that I do I am reinvigorated, I am quickly reminded of why I have them. The joy is overwhelming.
Enjoy your walk on the wild side.
Have a good one!
