    I've taken my BCI girl to college with me a few times, once for an English final that I did about snakes, the other was for my Biology class. I believe Satin's the perfect size for educational purposes: big enough to wow people (6ft), but small enough that people don't feel too intimidated (people are a little more inclined to want to see her if "a skinny little girl" can hold her, haha). She's very laid back and has never acted aggressive or nervous of large groups; since I've gotten her everyone always wants to see her or hold her so she's used to being around/held by strangers. She's even been held by younger kids with no difficulty (supervised, of course). I'm hoping in the future as I get more snakes that I can find more opportunities to do educational shows. It's really rewarding to see people that have professed to being avid snake-haters at least understand that snakes aren't evil monsters. It's okay not to want to own them or even want to be around one, but at least understand them.
