Taking your boas out in public is a great way to promote them. It opens new people to them. I brought one of mine in to work the other day. We had a new girl working that freaked when I walked in. By explaining about snakes, by the time I left, she was petting her. She was nowhere near holding her, but in an hour, great progress was made.
I love taking my boas out in the front yard on warm days and showing them off. Every once in a while I'll get a bad reaction, but it goes with the territory. The only way to improve acceptance and understanding is to subject people to them.
If we aren't willing to help the naive and ignorrant people out, we are doing ourselves a disservice.
