In the summer and fall when it's warm out we walk around the neighborhood most nights for exercise, everyone grabs their favorite snake and off we go. For the most part those who notice are full of questions and curiosity. I have noticed however that my daughters girlfriends are the bravest and always want to pet or hold them. Boys of the same age groups (9 - 13 year olds) seem very timid or down right afraid.
I always feel if we as a family can educate one person or dispell fears of these wonderful animals then it was a very rewarding walk in more ways than one.
