For owners OVER 22 years old - what do people say when you tell them you have a leo?

[Tommy13b]

I dont tend to get weird comments (even though im not 22 lol) But you would be surprized how many people ask if they sell car insurance...

I have 10s of thousands of roaches, and just over 100 geckos, I really dont talk about them with people. I have some unusual hobbies like collecting Amorphophallus and the molding end of taxidermy, so im used to keeping my mouth shut. Not that I have had to many adverse reactions, if I do get questions its about money, whats it worth? or how much did I make on it? and thats for all 4 weird hobbies; roaches, geckos, amorphophallus, and molding.
Heh you should try to explain to a landlord why you molded a Rhino foot and have 50+ castings all over the appartment, he is probably still going to a shrink for that one.
O yes and i almost forgot the car insurance comments.

I'm afraid to ask what amorphophallus is . . .

I"m so far past 22 that it isn't even an issue. Most people react negatively or positively to the idea of the reptiles, not to me owning them. I'm a home care speech therapist so I bring it up as a way of developing a rapport with the patients. Most of them squirm but some are really interested.

. . .OK, I looked it up. It's just as nasty as I thought, but to each his own (so to speak).

I only have one Leo and everyone who knows always wants to see it when they come over.
