My mom warmed up (yet to hold one though), but my dad was way more difficult. I think he's not as terrified of them anymore.
This looked like a great time for everyone & it's always awesome to see reptiles portrayed in a positive light.

Of course, where was the media to cover this positive event for the rest of the world to see that snakes are not the evil creature always depicted.
The media was hiding with their propaganda and preconceived Ideas lol!
Seriously though that looks awesome! I totally wish I could have been there! I work at a summer camp during the summer and we have a bunch of animals in the nature center including herps such as; a vield chameleon, lepoard gecko, and my ball! I love giving people a chance to experince new animals!

It was fun for sure. The animals were all great and well behaved. The credit goes to my friend Shawn for setting it up. Glad he did and I hope we can do it again next time around.

Re: Family day in the Park...reptiles and all:)
that was the idea . If we can teach the general population, that these animals are no different than any other when treated with care and respect and ( not so ) common sence . We have already been asked to do it again next yr . we actually made it into the local paper and one of the pics taken was a pic of my son Caleb and our big albino burm fantasy. I will try and get the pics scanned and download so I can post them.
Thanks again Waltah
