and its also my opinion and choice to do such a thing.

She hasn't gone blue yet-- and seeing as how that same animal does a dozen or more events each year and have never had a problem.... er-- yha, i elected to take her.

We had been watching her and talking about wether we should take her or not, we had gotten her out several days before the show to see how she would act---



I made the decision, and as you can CLEARLY see from the pictures that I wanted to share WITHOUT any of the notorious kingsnake lectures-- she was just fine.



Being out on the grass, and in and out of a cage all day, being drug around, we were constantly picking little peices of grass out of her scales, moving her back and forth and such. when we got home, we wanted to make sure there was no more tid-bits of grass stuck, so she got a warm bath.



She won't actually shed for another 2-3 weeks.



In the end, it is my animal, that only I know the temperment of, and I have worked with her for many many many years, and I know her body language just fine....



I will refrain from sharing any more photos... but I do love how I seem to be attacked as readily as the newbies that think thier burm eats crickets....



wonderful way to wake up after a 12 hour shift... a lecture... joy
