That's pretty awesome. Although I'd be wary of taking animals into the public, I cannot deny the good it does to expose people(especially children) to snakes and spiders in a POSITIVE way. Without places to show snakes as something awesome and desirable(by putting a price on the petting it actually gives value to the experiance, as opposed to a "free" petting zoo!) we end up with fewer folks interested in reptiles as pets.
Looked fun to me(I do SCA medieval stuff too, so snakes + medieval = WIN). Thanks so much for the pics!
