Good Deeds???

[balls my python]

Hello all. i have a quesion that probably has never been asked here... i take my snake everywhere and everyone that has one sais they cant believe how docile mine is. i mean people that have never held her grab her by the head and shes as calm as can be! (just to test her out)

now my question is... how or is it possible to license her to take to hospitals and stuff like that? every kid i come across thinks snakes are cool. why not make the ones that really need a smile enjoy her for a while.

I really love the idea, I think that is a great thing that you are thinking of but I believe that the salmonella card will pop up with this one. I have not personally met anyone whom has contracted it from a snake but it is a possibility, and people with pre existing conditions it could be very very serious. I believe hospitals will play it safe and not be very interested.

Have you given though to rehabilitation centres, people whom have lost limbs or stroke patients I know where I am they have activity nights every day something along those lines may work out better. You never know until you try.
