Are there women who wouldn't date a guy who owned a pet snake? (love, attraction)

[Trimac20]

I don't actually have one, nor am that interested in getting one (nothing against them, I think they're pretty cool, but they're not the most active of pets and they require a constant supply of live mice) but I'm just wondering if there are women who would be turned off if a guy owned a pet snake - say a non-venomous and fairly innocuous python or something.

How many would think it was cool?

I met a girl who owned a pet snake once, and I thought that was really cool, if anything it would make me MORE interested in her.

As long as she didn't have a forked tongue

I might as well pose the question to men too...would a woman who owned a pet snake make you more interested in her?


And no 'pet snake' is not euphemism for something else.

I wouldn't think that having a pet snake is cool per se, I'd be likely to conclude that the guy is TRYING to be cool. With that said, I wouldn't hold it against them either. So yes, I would date someone who owns a pet snake but I'd rather they don't.

I love snakes. Feeding time, especially for constrictors, is so fascinating to me.

... I miss Monty, the python.

This reminds me of that Fatal Attractions show on Animal Planet. I dont want to come over to his place one night for a date and have his 20 foot boa with the guys head it it's mouth.

But that's just me.

Not that afraid of snakes anymore. I had a previous pic of myself with an albino python D handler said he had never had anyone put it on their thighs before. My nephew and I stroked it while it was resting in its box , he had it in d orthodox round-d-neck position.

Owning a snake is kind of weird. Sorry. The few people that I've known who have them were weird. You have to feed the LIVE mice. The poor mouse is walking around the glass cage, someones even on top of the snake, oblivious to the fact that he will be dead in a matter of seconds. Then, the snake has a bloated out area along its length, telling you exactly where the mouse is, until it's fully digested.

A guy who owns a snake is weird. A woman who owns a snake is probably somewhat of a mental case.

This is going to be one of those times you and I agree.

Unless you are a herpetologist or medical researcher of some kind, owning snakes often indicates some kind of "problem".

Wow, really? Mental case, some kind of problem?

The gal I met who owned a snake was pretty normal, actually.

She could have been the exception to the rule

Unless of course she owned a ferret too! Then we got issues!
