Had Phyllis out in the front yard today to stretch out and do some bathroom business after the cleaned her cage and she got to do a little impromptu snake education for some of the neighbors. She met I think 6-7 new people, was incredibly well behaved and everyone that saw her thought she was incredible. She's met a few of the neighbors before but not this many over the course of an hour and she couldn't have been a better ambassador for typically non snake people. Her size definitely captivates people quickly and then folks always comment on her pattern and coloration, followed by the obligatory "does she bite?!" question haha. I of course was happy to help educate all of her visitors as to her background, geographic origins, age, eating habits, and help dispel some of the usual snake myths... "is she mean? Does she bite?!"-no, snakes are not mean. They are sometimes scared and/or defensive but not mean. A couple folks petted her briefly and were quite intrigued to find that snakes are actually rather soft and smooth, not slimy lol.
Here she is right before she took a giant piss all over the yard and my shorts haha.
