I have 2 kids and found a couple parents "concerned" about the fact that I have a "dangerous" snake in my home - the "dangerous" snake being a 6 month old BP. I have tried to explain about a million times that they should be far more concerned sending their kids to a house with dogs (I have 2 dogs as well actually) then with a snake lounging in a locked glass enclosure. I wish people would educate themselves a bit - my fascination with reptiles come from their prehistoric roots and amazing ability to adapt and survive for millions of years. I find snakes interesting for so many reasons, not the least of which is their ability to survive without limbs. Absolutely fascinating and beautiful beings.
