Was this party for a relative of yours or were you just offering some animals?

he had a big green (really green, had some orange markings starting to show through) one that was super calm, never struck once. Still didn't risk letting the kids hold him because he's still an ATB. I've been around 3 ATBs that were that docile, surprisingly they were all green ones, which are pretty rare.

Oh, and that's all the pictures, the kids had a blast, we educated the parents and grandparents, and we had a good time. I also brought my BRB and my SD, but didn't get any pictures of them.

Joey's boss's (grandpa) grandson's b-day party. I've known Joey for a while and only found out he kept snakes a few months back.

Awesome, Kyle!

Everyone - Don't forget Snake Awareness Day, May 14, 2012!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

[lady_bug87]

ah cool. I had my friend's 9yr old at my house for a visit and he got to touch and hold some of my brood. I may get him to come back and help me on cleaning day. He got a kick out of my lacertas

[millertime89]

I don't think I could get these little guys and girls to help with cleaning, I don't really have enough to need the help and they're all pretty young so they would probably be more of a hindrance then a help.

[lady_bug87]

yes but you're not 5mos pregnant lol I have 8 enclosures that would wipe me out.

[BarelyBreathing]

It looks like those kids had a blast!

Lol, you make a great point!

Oh yeah, grandpa too. The little girl was way braver than dad was, she even picked on him a bit.
