"Take Your Snake to Work Day"

I didn't have to work Saturday so I had promised one of the people I work with that I would bring my snake in if it was hot.

It was, so I did.

She was sort of a hit and sort of not. There are still people that are deathly afraid of snakes. I don't understand it but I respect it. I wouldn't want anyone to force me to look at anything that scares me.

There was a group using our hoses for a car wash and they were quite interested in the snake. Also a few of the cashiers and some of the young men came out. Pictures were taken and are going to be up on individuals Face Book pages before the day is out. I like it when people are not afraid of my boa. Snakes are important to the environment and too many kids grow up thinking they should kill them.

The is my boa when I first got her. She was one week old and about 14" long.




This next picture is of two ball pythons I used to own with their supposed dinner. Ball Pythons can be hard to keep sometimes as they don't always eat when they should. I had put these two young rats in because both snakes had been making signs that they were hungry. I looked about a half hour later and this is what I found. Needless to say the two young rats became pets. And the snakes were given to a reptile store downtown. I prefer my boa.



Have a great day and I hope there are no more crazies in the store today.



The Summer Olympics are over for another four years. I really enjoyed the parts that I watched. I missed ALL equestrian events which is unusual for me. But I got to see most of the swimming and diving I wanted and a lot of the running, including the whole marathon. So glad a Kenyan finally won. I missed the 5000 and 10,000 meter races though.

Oh well, next time. I have my dvd of Michael Phelps to hold me over.
