Here is a bit of a different tilt to this. I've already chimed in on liking to watch them but being still quite new it is safe to say the "newness" hasn't worn off. With the holidays behind us my son and I had the chance to introduce many in our family to our bp. We talked about the feeding (f/t) and where we get our rats and even how they are dispatched and cared for. Typically, the non snake folks just say "oh thats gross". After handling the snake, talking about the feeding process, talking about how amazing it is that this animal has evolved to eat once a week (in my house), get everything from one meal, and to eat something so large compared to its head, etc. Its not gross at all. It is fascinating and when the feeding display if you will is used for education you end up going from "oh that is gross" to "oh that is amazing".
Anyway....just another angle.
