She went to the next township meeting and tried to do something....just like BG said.

Problem was, one of the biggest lucky coincidences ever. The Mayor had large Burms in his house. BG knew his son Drew who owned the Burms, but he didn't know his dad was the mayor. His son told me what happened a few days later. The woman's husband showed me the pics she took of the snake years later. They didn't know that BG knew what the wife tried to do.

You guys can say all you want about it......in this day and age it's a bad idea to bring a big snake out in public....PERIOD!!!!! Unless of course it's some sort of scheduled thing..... Like a birthday party, or some educational show at a school. BG can't come down on Shawn too bad, he did the same thing years ago, but that was "years ago". He's much smarter now.....if that's possible.
Well we need to change that, so that you old farts can start saying "In my day people would crap themselves over 3" corn snakes! Now they don't even flench when they see a 24" Retic! Speaking of retics I had to walk 14 miles in the snow with no shoes to get my 1st retic!"
