I moved into my new place last January so with summer upon us I like to take my bps out in the backyard to crawl around in the sun for a bit - well, my new neighbors saw me out there with my bp and they (the wife, husband, daughter and two sons) all came over asking me all sorts of questions about them.
They knew absolutely nothing about bps at first and started asking all the typical questions new comers ask - they were afraid at first but before the conversation ended they were asking to hold him. It was funny to see the excitement on their faces when they were holding him - they ran and got a camera to document the event.
I think they were pleasantly surprised that he wasn't slimy feeling - lol. I answered all their questions and I think it was a good experience for them to understand more about snakes.
They asked if they can come over next time I have a different morph out in the yard - I told them that would be great.
I felt good being able to educate people on how wonderful snakes really are.
Tobie was the perfect ambassador for our new neighbors - he behaved wonderfully as usual.
