So now I'm slowly working on getting her to touch one. I've even got one of my neighbors over his fear of snakes. Before he'd only get like 5 10 feet from my snake but yesterday as my snake was on his fence. He actually went over and touched him . I think he's even thinking of getting one now haha

There are bars/restaurants, right by my house that i pass all the time and it's funny to watch peoples reactions. Some will talk to me for about five minutes, while others will just stair at me while runing into people. Or their jaws just drop cuz one their afraid of snakes and two im just walking around with him in my hand or on my head/ear haha. kids love to come up to me and ask if they can pet him and hold him and everything its pertty cute . Yeah I hear that a lot also it's either little kids telling me their moms told them to. Them running them over on their bikes or simply dad's going it. Every time i hear it, it brakes my heart. I'm half temped to just put my number on flyers and hang em up everywhere. For safe snake removal so no more will get killed haha.
If i am reading these two posts coreectly you took yoursnake into an office to catch a wild mouse? And you walk around the streets with it for "fresh air"??

I am all for handling snakes BUT they do require fairly specific humidity and temperature ranges that aredifficult yo maintain outside of their vivs.

Also how do you ensure noone is passing mites onto your snakes from their own collection? Or that they arent going to injure or drop the snake? What if the mouse had been poisoned or had a parasitic ifection before the snake ate it?

Sorry but all this sounds rather irresponsible to me.
