why are you into snakes?

[nightcat]

I just wondered why what reasons we have to be into snakes, what is the allure for some? For me it is an addiction, I don't know why. I know I love their beauty, it's living art. And we all have to admit snakes are sexy. I have always have loved to get naked with my snakes especially in the shower. I have to say nothing feels more erotic than a snake on bare skin. Again, theres that peaceful feeling when you are around them. I know when I am in my reptile room, it's a different world, a tranquil escape from all the daily crap. It is the most peaceful place and happiest I know. I also love reptile people! My vacation is selling at a reptile show. I have taken people to help me who have said reptile people are the coolest people they have in such a large group and had so much fun! I also wonder why I am going through my second divorce because I can't seem to live without something crawling or slithering around. To save my marriage I agreed to take all my reptiles to a show and sell them. I couldn't do it I told the people who were helping me over and overto pull my animals. I ending up selling all my babies for3000.00 but, bought another 1500 .00 of animals. My husband went nuts in front of my friends when I got back. I had more reptiles when I married him than I do now. I just don't unmderstand why they bother him so much when they are in room away from himand he doesn't need t0o have anything to do with them. Hey reptile ladies give me some advice will ya?

[Reptscue]

Sorry hon, I am in the same boat as you.

If your husband isnt willing to accept the things you like, such as your herp hobby.

Then perhaps he isnt the one for you.

thats just my opinion.

Sound ok to me. Like telefrag said it sounds like it wasn't a good match to start with.

sigh... men.

One of the many reasons I left my last b/f was because he kept saying "no more snakes!" I love my slithery friends and feel much the same as you. I find them to be VERY relaxing and their own different personalities makes them even more interesting to me. Plus: no fur, feed once every 7-10 days, clean up isn't bad, don't have to walk them, they don't make noise and they don't leave fur or feathers everywhere

I married a man that is into them as much as I am and that helps a lot

If the reptiles have become that much of a problem, it may be time to look for other problems, too. My soon-to-be ex let a lot of little things bother him, including the pets, and never said anything about it. Eventually they became so bad that he couldn't see past all the problems and decided he had to leave. Sit down and have a serious talk, or even consider counseling, to figure out what the root of the problem is. Can't hurt, might help.

i think you guys can come to some kind of agreement that would make you both happy, im sure you wouldnt want to end your marriarge of that.

[LdyDrgn]

Shannon (reptilemama) is right... it would probably be a good idea to have a talk. Maybe find out exactly what it is that bothers him about the snakes and see if you can help him get over that. If he can become interested, even just a little, it would make things a lot easier. Opposites may attract, but not being able to enjoy your hobbies together makes it hard. And it's even more difficult if one can't accept the hobby of another....

I wish you luck on getting it worked out. Love is compromise, acceptance and most of all, wanting to be together. If you love each other enough then it should be easy to communicate the problem and get it solved.

come to ga lol

[pythonpower]

i dont know about the whole naked thing but i love snakes also.

[TSUSnakeGuy]

Ok I am a male....please don't hit....lol. I am having to get my g/f to like my snakes. I am in college and this semester I am brining my newest baby back. She is kinda freaked out about the idea of when I have a house there will be a room full of snakes. Hopefully I can break her of that. I try to talk to her about them and educate her. You just have to understand we are in a world full of ignorant people, not stupid just ignorant. Most folks are brought up to think any good snake is a dead one and its hard to get out of thier minds. Thats why there are freaks like us to help break them of that and educate them.

[aesailor7575]

well see in my case Ihave a wonderful wife.she will admit the snake arent her favorite thing but she likes holding them and playin with them not as much as me of coarse. she likes furry animals. but we make comprises. right now we are at apoint where I cant get any more for a while but that is fine because I have a bunch.plus I do a lil bit breeding so my wife does like the extra money. however some times you need to cut you losses and slow down with buying. but I dont know I guess it is all education ya know.

Because I can…. j/k Like LdyDrgn said maintenance and no hair or feathers and with the proper education who couldn’t love them. As for your hubbie maybe he feels you give the reptiles more attention/love than him, I think you need to do what reptilemama said

Snakes don't stink, don't #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^& all over the house, don't shed hair everywhere, no dander, no messes, no noise.... attract lots of attention..... they are the perfect pets.

Naked with snakes huh...Gee who would have ever thought ... he he he...
Seriously, my wife loves snakes and if it weren’t for snakes we would have never met.

She wanted a pet that she was not allergic to and I just thought they were interesting. Now they are our lives. Life is funny like that.

Don't think I'd get naked with a snake. Wouldn't want to get bit in the wrong place.

[aesailor7575]

yeah I gotta agree with CC

haha... hey look another pinky

[SnakePool]

My opinion... he using the snakes as an excuse to get upset with you. It sounds like there are underlying problems in your relationship.

I think I have been watching too much Dr. Phil.
