Yeah, I take my big girls with me places all the time. I do take into account that some people don't like snakes, but I'm also careful to always have a safe place for the snake to go if something happens.

I have many contacts in town, and have many safe places that I and my pets are always welcome. Pet stores included. You have to realize that not everyone loves our hobby. We are a rare breed (though it doesn't seem it here) and not everyone can accept the fact that many people find snakes a desirable pet.

Most people see it as our problem - not theirs.
