I have an arrangement with the store. They work hard to improve their husbandry after I showed up one day and worked to educate them. Now they let me call a hour or 2 in advance and bring them out. I see people carrying their snakes in the store more often now. I think you have to build a relationship to do more than just walk through the store with one in hand. Everyone there are supper supportive of education and animal care. It has to do with the management caring so much in this case. Walk softly when you begin and build a relationship. Go from there.
