For those of us who are into reptiles, we all know how hard it is to meet someone that doesn't run away when you say the word "snake." I know we have a few married or coupled folk that peruse this forum so how about giving the rest of the single herpers some advice??

How did you find your mate?

What are some dos and not dos?

I know That feeling.... lol..I would love to meet someone that wants me and my snakes. As my collection grows the numbers dwindle. dont get me wrong sex isnt a problem(58 Panhead takes care of that Lol) .. but companionship is :( Maybe some day Ill find someone that wants a good man and his large family :D
 
You're not kidding!! About a month ago, some guy picked me up in the grocery store parking lot...he said, "Are you single?" I countered with, "Yes. Do you like snakes?" I just don't mess around when it comes to the important stuff. LOL!
 
Lol.....I just tell them every room in my house is ok to be in " but That Room ( Reptiles) is off limits and they say stuff like " Oh you cant start off a relation ship if your trying to hide things ..my response is Im just trying to stop you from going off into the night "Screaming"...Then they say ..What are you an Ax Murderer No thats where I keep my babies ....then its Oh I love Babies....LOL.. and I open the door and say "I told you so"....If only my babies could talk my life would be some what complete....:D
 
Yes quite a few ....LOL But the way I see it its their loss some people just dont know how "We Are" it takes alot of care and compassion to care for our babies and they will never know the real us...they should just get over their fears and try to care or love us for who we are....they might be surprised whats really there ;)
 
That's a really good point...We're educated in multiple areas because we learn everything we can about the reptile, as well as the care and breeding of their food. We're mothers, doctors and scientists. We're compassionate and enthusiastic. We are able to (and will, eagerly) teach anyone else about our wildlife. There's so many facets to us herpers. ;)
 
aw............ seybella you can come up to Idaho any time.....and bring your snakes!
 
well speaking for someone who's dating... I've got pets that the boyfriend doesn't like, and he's got an evil kitten I wouldn't mind feeding to a burm, so we each tolerate the other's flaws LOL.

The guy I was seeing before that didn't like the snakes, but he was ok as long as he didn't have to look at em; and the guy before that had a sizeable colubrid collection, whereas I prefer boids, but I met him in a reptile chat room hehe.
 
That's funny that you say that about the evil kitten...I've joked for years that if my retic got out, I'd have to take him in for exploratory surgery to remove my cat's collar and tags from his gut.
 
You know I neer really had a problem with the opposite sex and my snakes even when I had one of the largest rattlesnake collections in the U.S. May be because if I found out that a girl I was interested in was "terrified" of snakes, I just never pursued her further. Guess I figured why bother, it probably would not work anyway. LOL.

As long as I come first, he can have as many reptiles as he wantsssssss.....
 
Ill have to admit that my guy does not like my reptiles, my dogs, that one cat that visited one day and never left, the hamsters, mice, fish or anything else that is "non human"

But he loves me despite all of that and Id rather have it that way but you should have seen his face the first time he walked in to 7 Rottweilers greeting him at the door. Then he was shocked that they didn't eat the cat, fish or other critters all over the house.

There are still at least 2 nights a week that he yells in his sleep, there are crickets in my hair, my ears or wherever and freaks out bit I just laugh and say well you knew what you were getting into

Then when the leos started mating, he swore that the tail wagging noise was a rattlesnake I was hiding and our only snake is a tiny little garter that he looks at very funny as he walks by its cage lol
 
Well that's not really what I meant..... :blush:
