Kind of a modern day Norman Rockwell
No doubt, the varied expressions over the snake are exactly that, If he had ever gone to SA and seen that he would've painted it, a great photo!
I have had over 15 snakes delivered to work this year and it's quite an attention getter. From the FedEx guy to the staff and students ( I'm a teacher) they all want me to open it immediately, I usually refrain, for the snakes sake if I can take it home soon, at lunchtime, if not I'll open it only to transfer to a temp tub, maybe later if the snake has drank and seems to be OK will I get it out for a few minutes.
