I'm a girl. My family is ok with them, so long as they stay out of the main part of the house. They can't really say much more than that, seeing as how my dad was the one who bought me my first herp at the age of 3-4
My dad however, is absolutely terrified of rodents... dead or alive. He gets scared of the snakes sometimes as well. My fiance is incredibly tolerant of them. He's not in to reptiles at all, he's a cat person...
I'm so lucky to have found him though... I wouldn't want to be involved with a herper, and I don't think there is anyone else that would sleep in a room *crowded* full of animals every night and be fine with it (most he says its like a grocery store because of all the aisles
). He helps me probe snakes, comes to shows on occassion (he'll be holding up the table with me at the next one), and when I had surgery, he wouldn't let me do anything until I was recovered.. he took care of everyone... even the 250+ rats
I got my sister in to them a bit... snakes aren't her favourite, but loves my BP... and she has leopard geckos. She also helps me if I need a second set of hands with some of the snakes.
