I get called a freak too especially when i bring up the fact that i have thousands of roaches in my closet I really get it dumped on me for that one. but people use freak as justification for a lack of better understanding.

Dendroboard.com sounds like face book around election time. If i ever get board i will head over there to start a ruckus. For now FF is the place to be.

It's the same for me at school. People my age tend to criticize people with a different or unique interest/hobby, so you can imagine what happens when I bring up my amphibians. Once, a teacher even told me I should cook my beloved bullfrog, Gnag, up on a barbecue since she's an invasive species, despite the fact that I had explained how much care and time goes into her just previously. He might've been joking, but that's no way to talk to someone about their pets, especially if they care about them as much as I do.

I know how you feel about the roaches situation too. People criticize me about culturing a woodlouse colony that's 500 strong (I'm attempting to breed the woodlice I've found with orange coloration currently to see if the offspring will have the same unique coloration). I mean, so what? It's not their problem, so why should they criticize someone about it?

That is cool, we got some things in common ! My B.S. was Biology (Botany) and Master was Marine Biology (Phycology). Did not do much with it because joined the Navy and then did 20 years as a Special Operations Officer with EOD, Underwater Mine Countermeasures, and Anti-Terrorism as my forte. That was a lifetime ago, now i'm retired and reentered the civilian world by studying Chinese Medicine and Shiatsu . Humm... we are derailing this thread . Good luck in your studies !
