I'm a proud female herper! I've been keeping reptiles since I was about 5 years old. I'm the only odd ball in my family. The hobby was never introduced to me. I've just had a lifelong passion for scaley critters. It's so awsome to find a place where I can talk about my hobby and not be treated like a freak!

Hehehe I'm a female herper. I've loved snakes since I was 3 years old. My mother and father encouraged a healthy curiosity in regards to all animals. Letting me play with the frogs and toads that found their way into our pool. But I didn't get my first snake until I was 16. Before that I had turtles, but meh.
I have had boyfriends that are in love with my snakes, boyfriends that were terrified (they got dumped pretty quickly) and some that don't care.
Friends, well, same thing as the boyfriends. Although most love them or keep them themselves.

Cool thread....
Count me among the female herpers... (not like I've posted here a whole lot lately, but... ehh...). My family was always more or less okay with herps... they pretty much supported my interest in all animals for as long as I can remember (I have an excellent picture somewhere of me at about 4 years old with my nose about a foot above the sidewalk as I'm staring at a caterpillar....  ). My mom was always against rodents more than anything (although, the last 2 years I lived at home I was raising mice in the basement)... and now that I've moved out they ask every so often how "the snakes and things are doing".
My boyfriend is mostly indifferent to the reptiles... BUT he has come to a couple shows with me, and he did build me a very nice snake rack.... and he puts up with having a room mostly dedicated to my snakes (and having my uro Mak'esu on display in the dining room) and a shelf of mice in the deep freeze... what more could I ask for? He'll even hold snakes for me if I need to probe one. (and as he said, only in our house would a girl walking up with a packet of lube and saying "feeling adventurous?" be followed by 1/2 an hour of sexing snakes.... *lol*)
Oh, and on the cheerleading vs mould.... ditto on the mould... but then, I majored in biology in uni.... I actually <i>have</i> watched mould grow.....

Let's see....
I used to have Anoles when I was a kid---love them.
Caught gartner snakes.
Used to have a pet rat who could run free in my apartment. She liked to climb her way up to my shoulder. She was the best.
I had a trantula named Maldoon and she lived to be almost 10!
I LOVE watching bugs!
What does that say about me?? lol

Female herper here. Just an animal nut in general really. Herps are just among my in-home zoo now 
Kate- my 5 year old is the same way! She has "her" snake now, and couldnt be happier, lol. My husband said we couldnt have any more animals, so she suggested we get rid of the cats and get more snakes instead.
My cats are my babies and arent going anywhere... but I thought it was funny she would opt for more snakes over them.
Linds- Somehow in my head you were a guys, not sure why, but rock on that you're a chick!
Female herpers are awesome... I dont think its so rare to find us, I just wish more of my girlfriends were as into it as I am. Most of them think my snakes are neat, but you won't catch them requesting to hold one, either, lol.
