    Re: Have you taken your BP to work or anywhere else?

    I've been considering it . . .

    Weekends, I work at a public aquarium, where I host and provide edutainmental tours for children's birthday parties and scout overnights. We're planning a new exhibit for the end of June which will take visitors on an underwater African safari, with fish from the Nile, Tanganyika & Malawi, and the rivers of West Africa. I believe they're planning on including Madagascan ground and tree boas as well, so an up-close with a BP might be a fun "extra". I've got four '07 girls who could rotate the job, so nobody would have very heavy workloads.

    We take Milton to the pet store on occasion when we are getting his food.

    My wife especially likes talking to children and letting them interact with him. He has a fantastic personality, so it's always a positive experience for everyone (except maybe the old lady who is afraid of all reptiles). We have even had a few people who were very afraid of snakes that are now happy to see him. I always ask the kids what they think he feels like. Number one answer: a football!

    I was thinking the same thing...

    I took a few of the snakes to my son's 6th grade sicence class when they were discussing reptiles. All the kids thought they were pretty cool. He also did his science project on the snakes so he took his test subjects to the science fair. That was a blast - we were the hit of the fair. Everyone had to stop by and see the snakes. We had our largest girl (2700gms) and our smallest boy (300gms) and the folks were amazed. It was a really good education event for the kids and their parents.

    Re: Have you taken your BP to work or anywhere else?

    I took my biggest female to the pet store who's around 4 1/2 foot, to get some supplies and frozen adult mice for my little ones. Had a lady that was very curious asking me a bunch of questions about her and the lady's kids touched her and everything. it was fun. As i was waiting in line to pay, another lady behind me hadn't noticed my ball python all over my arm and when she did, she just jumped two steps back.lol just wasn't expecting that, afterwards she was laughing. looking forward to taking her again lol
