Public perception of snake?

These same people that make these jokes and refrences negativly about reptiles are often the same ones who do the freakiest things in the bedroom or other aspects of their lives that you or I could never imagine. They simply make these types of comments because it seems strange to them in their already derranged lives. So I imagine they assume if theyre as messed up as they know they are that if someone does something that seems strange to them must be being done by someone even more wacky then themselves.

All my shipments I drop off at my local Fed Ex hub has the common and scientific name on it, as well as "Live Harmless Reptiles" on it, and I always get comments on what i'm shipping. All have been extremely positive, and I really enjoy talking with the ladies at the counter about my animals when I drop off shipments

I wish all could have the same positive experiences I have had with their fed ex reps and hubs...

It was a fedex office. I don't think it was true fedex ship center though. Fedex delivered it to my door but I was out of home for a moment at that time so I had to go to nearest fedex office.

I thought so...I know here in the States not all fed ex offices will accept live reptile shipments...because the people who work there are not employed by fed ex and therefore are not intimately familiar with the inner workings of reptile shipments

lol what? Most of the people I know who hate snakes are quite...normal.

I'm not sure what someone's possible kink status has to do with their reptile like or dislike...

Most people are afraid of them because of lack of information, MISinformation, or a phobia.

It's...deeply unfortunate that some people can't keep their mouths shut. sadly there's not much we can do about it a lot of the tiem, except in this case--yeah, I'd let FedEx know.

The point I was trying to make is that we all have quirks and excentricities of one type or another. For those who would be embarassed by their own they will often try to make people with different likes feel outcasted to give themselves a feeling of normalcy. Same concept as someone with low self esteem picking on someone else to make themselves feel better. But we digress... At the end of the day unacceptable behaviour and I'd be filing a complaint to their higher up's.
