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.

I'm a girl!! And I got my boyfriend into herps 
My family and friends think I am insane but they are slowly getting use to them as every herp show they seem to multiply 
My mom even helps me clean my big girls cage when she is in a "mood".
I am slowly warping my friends and family...I love it. I have even got some of my friends to get leopard geckos, not much but its a start!!

Ladies...that's all 2 cool. But realise that confessing your interest in critters isn't gonna help getting a chance at cheerleading.

Add me to the list of mold watchers over cheerleading LOL.... I'm another female herper with 3 more in the house of course they are only 4 yrs old. My husband finds them interseting and is happy to handle them when I'm cleaning cages and such but they are mine. He even bought me a female ball last mothers day and at the ERAS fall show he bought a beautiful het ghost male, wich he does claim as his but I'm the one who feeds, handles and cleans after him. LOL some men!

This is Jessy, the girl part of JustinO (really have to get that name changed)....... he wrote earlier for me but is very misguided (and will get spanked tonight )
I have always liked reptiles and was turned off of the hobby when my ex bf's father fed his ball python live mice for pleasure and it was sick.......
I met Justin and learned VERY quickly that this should not be the case and that most herpers have a freezer full of "mousicles" that were thawed & fed to a snake/lizard. I had a ball python of my very own within a few weeks! Since then it has been our main passion, and something we always share a very big part of our lives in!
Just to mention, Justin was a lizard guy and I totally converted him to snakes
As for my family, they have all accepted it (except my hippie vegan cousin, gah!) and have all come to visit and see them. My mom and brother are interested, although my mom really likes the babies and makes a bee line for them first when she visits. My brother will be the first one to get a baby ball in the spring!
I talk about them a lot with friends also, none have actually gone to get one themselves, but I'm sure they know to come to me if they ever have questions.......
Herper chicks rock!

I'm also female, and herps are fabulous! My boyfriend is ok with them, though not nearly as keen. and guess what, I get it from my mother. (Tortoise crazy)
So there goes your theory about females vs. males.
or maybe my family's just weird....
definitely mold watching over cheerleading...
