Yes, you're absolutely missing something and it's HUGE. The fact that you say you "respect 'your' animals" and "work hard to keep everyone safe" THEN say (paraphrasing) you thought it was "funny" to drop a Retic. in someone's lap who had JUST told you they "had no experience with any snakes" is absolutely frightening! Were you ready for BOTH, the retic's AND the poor dude's immediate response to the situation??

To answer this question... He was there in a controlled environment. I had 3 other people there helping and we all were ready to help them. He was not fearful. Fear is good, keeps us on our toes. He learned a lot and make a good decision based on the experience I provided him. At no time was he in danger or her.


It's just that I'm quickly learning there is a VERY BIG common misunderstanding (and fear) of snakes in the general public, which has given them a bad name.

You cant change public opinion if you hide in the closet. Education and healthy practice and good experiences help change public opinion. That is what I try to do and have been successful. Some say will only handle my animals because of how they act.

Not in ANY way am I trying to bash you, I promise.

This whole situation literally boils down to bad communication on your part. We are only going by the information YOU are giving us. You can call it an "assumption", if you like. The fact is (according to YOUR words) you're making some irresponsible and even dangerous decisions.

Obviously, We will get no further with helping you understand just how careless you're acting due to the simple fact you refuse to listen with an open mind. Again, going off of YOUR explanations.

With that being said, I wish you well and can only hope and pray you don't do anything stupid and/or dangerous. I'm bowing out.

Peace.
