I took one of my BP's to work in a snake bag because I had to leave straight from work to get her to her vet appointment. I worked at a credit union and the other people were all women ranging from 24 to 50 ish. They were all apprehensive at first but after a couple of hours of Mona in a bag in the break room they all got curious and asked me to take her out. 2 of the women held her the other 2 did not but I think they were less scared after the experience.
