Does anyone else have this problem? You have company over. They know you have reptiles. You tell them repeatedly over the course of 3 months that they are
not to touch any animals unless
I take the animal out and let them touch it. They don't listen and handle them when you are busy on the phone (or whatever).
The other day, a neighbor came over, and without me knowing (I thought she was in the can
), opened up the new boa's cage, and
left it open.
Hubby noticed about 5 hours later that it was open, and thankfully she had stayed in her hide. But, we have small cats, and I would have been
very upset if anything had happened to them.
She denies that she opened the cage (yeah, right), meanwhile she is bragging to everyone that she has held her and that it's
"no problem" to handle a big snake.
So anyways, this person is no longer allowed in my home, plus we have a deadbolt lock on the door, so no one can get in unless we let them
It really bothers me that people don't seem to care what your rules are. I emailed all the herp people that I know personally, and explained the situation (I usually invite experienced people to occasionally handle my animals), and thankfully have had a great response.
I am still fuming though. Argh...such a waste of energy
