Bingo!!!



Here's your big chance to possibly quell someone's fear and ignorance. Odds are the investigator ain't wild about coming to your place. Don't act bothered about the complaint at all. Be confident but not cocky. Try to teach the investigator what snakes are not to be feared, but respected. It sounds like they should get that impression anyway from the snake being in a seperate room and with cage locks.



If you really wanted to go the extra mile to prove safety & security, run out and grab a cheap door knob with a locking key, like ones used on front doors of houses. Heck, I'll even send you the $15 - $20 to get one if you need it. And I'm dead serious. They make key-locking door knobs for inside doors and they're a tad cheaper than outside ones due to not needing a tougher finish for weather protection and also not needing as much strength for break-ins.



Please let us know how it goes. You never know how this could help someone else out in the future.



Hang in there!
