U keeping any secret from... ?

I won't ask what ?

But are you keeping any secrets from friends, family, fellow herpers, etc.. in relation to what you have in your collection.

Many reasons are valid, i.e.
- have a hot snake, don't want some people to know
- have expensive snakes, don't what people to think I'm rich
- have a rare or semi rare specie, don't want people to break in my house.
- Have something most people don't have, don't want them to copy me, I wanna be different.
etc etc...

Everything I own is in my signature. All perfectly legal. Of course, if I did have an illegal herp, I'd still say the same thing.... so why would I answer this poll truthfully? LOL

I do lots of the above.

My roomates have lots of 20-25 year old "punk" friends who are my friends as well for entertainment value but I don't trust them as far as I could throw them. So they do not know what I keep. Only my closest most trusted friends know what we have, and thats about less than five people.

Well im mainly keeping a secret from my dad. I wasnt supposed to get a new snake but I did anyways. He never comes in my room so thats a good thing but its only a matter of time before he finds out that on sunday I did go to the show and get a BRB. Doesnt matter really though, mom knew so I have some back up.
Cheers,
Ryan

I need to check some by-laws before I start telling people. My family and close friends know, but they also know to keep it hush hush.

I really don't care what people think because if they say something then they will have to deal with me. So I don't care because basically if I have something illegel then me and my dad are the only ones that know about and he will support me in anyway he can in my herping, even if they are dangrous or illegel herps because he knows I can take care of them with little chance of getting hurt( thats not saying I won't get hurt because there is always that chance.)

i just dont tell people( exept close friends) becuase i dont feel the need to parade the fact that i keep herps. the herps i buy i buy for me, not to show off , but because i enjoy them. if i wanted to show off i would buy a rolex or something. ( plus the little fact that here in england i dont know how local councils would feel about me keeping boas etc, people here all seem to have some crazy idea that every snake in the world is out to get them and according to the general public, ALL snakes are poisonous, viscous monsters LOL oh know, please help me, my corn snake is constricting my finger, call an ambulence LOL)

Being a college student with no money my parents are going to freak out when they find out I bought an ATB and am working on the funds for another(Wymen I've kept that female at the top of my list and hopefully soon....).... but until that happens i'll continue to use the ATb (Cuddles) in my upcoming term projects. Should be fun.
