12. How do your friends view your hobby / deal with your obsession?
I don't have a lot of friends due to the hours I work, and I guess because of the amount of time I spend taking care of my snakes. Or it could be that although I love working WITH people, I'm kind of a loner...anywho...people at work think I'm crazy as a loon, especially when I tell them how many I have (39) and that I breed rats to feed them as well. Right now I work mostly with females, and some of them even hate it when my background pops up on the computer--an RDR Dreamsicle!
On the other hand, my mother is dumbfounded that a roach will cause me to scream like a little girl, but a snake will make me oooh & ahhh. She doesn't want anything to do with them, but will have my sister or niece catch ringnecks & the like. She even loaned me money for a deal I just couldn't pass up! And yes, she has been paid back...
If anyone else is interested in answering the questions in this poll, feel free.
