Indonesian Garters and Petco

[Stefan-A]

when speaking of my snakes, i generally refer to them by latin, and I would do it 24/7 except for the fact that I know not everyone on the forums, EPSECIALLY over at reptastic, is fluent in latin names.

Scientific names. Usually it's latinized Greek.

Often when I'm at work and I start spouting off the latin names of.... oh, just about anything and everything... from xenopeltis unicolor to betta splendens to ophiophagus hanna, I get called nerd, loser, bookworm... etc

Start calling those people "ignorant pigs". Anyone who shows that kind of contempt for knowledge deserves to get torn a new one.
