    First time touching a snake!

    This is my neighbor Juanita. She's never picked up a snake or even touched one before today. I think she did pretty darn well, and so did Dorothy and Minnie the Mean Snake.









    For those who might be concerned, we did a total disinfection with bleach on her bar when she was done with the snakes. She needs a lot of light to see and that is the best lit areas of her house. I get a big kick out of seeing people handle snakes for the first time.

    Her observation was that they're not slimy at all and they feel like a good purse does. She really liked Minnie the Mean Snake.

    She was having fun. I told her about Darth Jackass and she wanted me to go get him too, but I finally convinced her that he needs a little more time before he becomes "friendly."

    She wants to know when Dorothy and Minnie can come back to visit. After she touched them she couldn't keep her hands off of them.

    My neighbors think I'm crazy. LOL
    Except for the neighborhood kids.

    Good to introduce snakes as pets to others! Thanks for sharing!

    The first snake she ever touched was a piebald?! That is like the first car you ever driving being a Mercedes.

    She looks like she enjoyed the experience. Good job.
