Beautiful Den of Earth, I wish you were not hidden behind a creepy crawly warning icon. You are a gorgeous and splendid fellow, and most definitely not "creepy" and not to be feared! :)

Den of the Earth, what a gentle and amazing ambassador you are for snakes everywhere! You prove that snakes are not out to hurt anyone, and to the contrary often put up with more than many other furry creatures would before defending themselves. I got such a grin out of the story about the large burly fellow being so excited and thrilled about touching you. It must be so very rewarding to watch people overcome their fears, and let fascination take over instead. I'm so very fortunate that as a very young child, perhaps age 6 or 7, my mother took me to a presentation that allowed people to handle and meet snakes just like you. For that reason, I was brought up not to fear, but to admire and treasure snakes. You are doing a wondrous thing by giving other people that experience. I'm very honored to meet you today Den of Earth. I hope you've had an especially enjoyable day basking in Pet of the Day's spotlight! Congratulations Den of Earth, our amazing, inspiring, and beautiful Pet of the Day!

Wow, Den . . . aren't you absolutely fabulous!!!!:D

I agree with K9 . . . POTD needs to dispense with the silly creepy crawl "warning" icon and regard all pets equally.

I had a corn snake a long time ago in Alabama and his name was Sly. Not as big as you, Den, but just as docile and loveable! :D Congrats on being chosen as our super-duper special POTD and hope your friendly nature will continue to lesson the snake phobias that plague others! :)
