I took my baby Houdini outside with me when I took my dog out today because the weather was finally nice. Well there is a little girl, maybe 5, who lives in my apartment complex who came out with her dad and their dog. Being a little kid she noticed the snake right away. At first she was a little nervous, but then I offered to let her touch him while I held is head if it was okay with her dad. She said she was afraid of snakes, but that didn't last very long. Soon she was asking me how many pets I have, so I listed them all. After petting Houdini for a little while she really wanted to see my boa. So I went back in to get Candy, she really liked her. She couldn't believe she was a baby.Eventually I went back in and got Lily, my largest snake. It was so much fun to tell her all about them and to see someone who told me they were scared of snakes do a 180.
Sorry that was so long winded, I'm just really happy and had to share. I've been reluctant to take my snakes outside and I'm glad today went well.![]()
