Tomorrow evening a journalist from the local newspaper is coming over to do a story on snake breeding as a business/hobby. And she's doing it in a positive light, because she is also covering the story about 5 mins. away in Mapleton about Dan and Colette Sutherland's ball python business moving into town and all the surrounding hype and controversy tied with that.
Any suggestions (i.e., like with pit-falls to avoid, etc) on what to say or leave out?

Only Don't pull out any snakes to show her that you are absolutely positive will NOT give her a photo-op of that snake striking. Only pull out snakes your sure are the most mellow animals you have ever owned~ if she wants to see one you know bites~ tell her that snake just ate you don't want to stress it out.
Try not to let her talk you into feeding one while she is there either~ that photo will wind up on the news and have the rodent lovers up in arms.
Good luck!

Actually, I was thinking, let one of your more fiesty little ones get a tag on ya so she sees that getting bit by a puppy or kitten is worse. Maybe not the best of ideas, but she will see that they are not "man eaters". Make sure the camera is AWAY first though...
