Rose,

. When I first started keeping snakes in the 1960s there were practically no women keeping snakes. I now keep and breed mostly Rainbow Boas. I have been producing and selling baby boids for 12 years. Last year I actually sold more of my baby Rainbow Boas to women than to men. This hobby has really changed over the years.

Good Luck,

Jeff



>>Hey everyone I just wanted to have some opinions on this topic. Steve and I have been in the breeding business for welll... oh wait this was our first season! And the more call backs and meetings we have had with people the more I think I notice the shocked look on their face that I am as involved with the boas and pythons as Steve is. I guess I’m kind of getting the feeling like its Steve who gets all the credit and people view me as the girlfriend behind the scenes who just supports her boyfriend, but isn’t really interested in the snakes when actually we are both so absorbed in these animals that we think and talk about little else. I was just half wondering if other ladies out there have gotten these looks and if I am the odd ball that I feel like because I love reptiles of all types and just feel a certain bond with them. Just trying to get input I’m not in any words trying to insinuate that all people think us rare and beautiful ladies are odd because they love their snakes I just wanted some input on the topic... So please don’t think I hate anyone, I just want a friendly discussion!
