Answering the door while handling a snake
A few days ago I was handling my ball python Charles (he's still a hatchling) and my doorbell rang. Putting Charles back into his enclosure and dealing with the clips and the stuff I set on top of the enclosure to weigh the lid down would have taken several minutes. He was wrapped around my hand and my dog was going nuts so I just said "screw it" and answered the door with Charles wrapped around my hand. It was one of my neighbors. Anyway, I held Charles off to the side so she couldn't see him, and I talked to my neighbor through the screen door for several minutes, and she looked confused the whole time. So I told her why I was staying inside and hiding my hand, and she took about 15 steps backwards. My dog was still going nuts, so I told her, "I'm going to come outside now". Next thing I know I'm outside alone, with my snake. Neighbor nowhere to be found. I opened my door and she vanished.
Charles gave me this confused look. My dog stopped barking though.
What are y'all's experiences with answering the door with a snake?
