Sidney and Riley’s favorite thing in Sedona

This might have even placed above the hotel pool and hot tub, so you know they liked it!!

A couple guys who run a rescue organization based in Sedona had a bunch of friendly animals that anyone could try holding – they are trying to help people to understand that not all ‘scary’ animals are actually bad, and they are working especially hard to change people’s perceptions about snakes.

Riley was immediately comfortable picking up the big python.
Sidney, not so much.
The bearded dragons were sweet and almost cuddly, so that was a little easier.
Then Sidney discovered the baby snakes. They were a lot less intimidating than the big python, and she sort of worked back up through a series of bigger snakes.
And took a snake break to hold an adorable gecko.
This snake really liked Sidney and almost cuddled up to her neck.
And now look at Sidney, holding Picasso the python like it is no big deal and she wasn’t freaking out about it just earlier that day. A lot of adults walked by and said how brave she was and that they could never hold a snake like that. I showed all of them the picture from earlier in the day of Sidney holding the same snake. Maybe we helped change a few minds?
