All the time was more of an exaggeration on my part. It's more like a once a year thing but it was meant to prove the point that I've he's so 'trustworthy' that I tend to keep him around for that reason....and also he's my 1st snake. Appreciate the concern which is definitely a valid one.Originally Posted by Bogertophis
But one thing, you mention taking your snake "all the time to teach the other kids about snakes" which is a noble cause but not if it causes your BP to go off-feed. I'm sure that "all the time" was an exaggeration, but it's still something you want to think twice about doing. There are plenty of mellow snakes that always feed great whether or not they do programs & meet strangers, but your BP might not be one of them. Stop doing that & see if it helps? BPs & most all snakes are so stoic it's very hard to read them & know if they're stressing. I know because I've been doing programs & "meet & greets" with my snakes for many years, & without my snakes fasting afterwards. But BPs are different.
