I sometimes take mine to Petco on Saturdays to show them off, but not out as in playing in the yard and such. I like to show them around at the store though and teach the kids and even adults that show an interest in them about BP's. Just today I took my new girl to Petco and one of the employees actually asked if she could hold her and if I would take a picture because some of her friends make fun of her being afraid of snakes.
