How do I make people stop being afraid?

Why take them anywhere? Your snakes aren't getting anything out of a trip to the park, the pet store, etc.

Do what you do for YOURSELF. Be passionate about things that make YOU happy. Why is it important that other people share your passion? If it is moving you to the point of being emotional, then the problem lies within.

Again, I'm not asking them to share it, just asking for them to be respectful. I see I won't ever get that though. When we take them out, it's for education or to people who ask. We don't just take them wherever. But yeah, I see your point.
