things like that really make me wish people would educate themselves before running around telling people that they're holding a dangerous animal, THAT could cause a panic.

on the note of the original post...

i've brought my ball python into my imaging lab to photograph her. people knew in advance about it and still came and were scared, some wanted to touch her and a few even held her and helped me take the pictures so it wasn't all bad.
