All of us should be doing more. Some people may read posts like this and think to themselves that they can't do that much, so they do nothing at all. But all of us can do SOMETHING. Sometimes I'll go to a pet store and ask to look at some of the snakes. Not because I have any interest in buying a pet store animal, but because usually once the snake it out of the cage and in my hands, it attracts attention and I get to talk to a few people about what great pets they make and how much we enjoy ours. I find it fun, and it is another drop in the bucket of making our hobby viewed more positively in the public eye.

Then I use gobs of the hand sanitizer and wash up really thoroughly to be sure I don't bring any germs home.
