I mentioned a while back that I had a tame wild snapper. Some people were a little skeptical. Can't say I blame 'em.
So today, a client showed up with his kid and I was super busy, but it was a gorgeous day and I needed to feed my koi and kids love this stuff. So I dropped all my work and we crept up to the koi pond and as we surveyed the situation with all the proper precautions explained, my snapper swam up to check us out. We fed the koi and we fed my snapper and I think we all had a special moment with an animal that has a fierce reputation. Nothing could be further from the truth.
As my guest saw, this is a shy, graceful and intelligent animal. It is certainly aware of the threat that humans pose, but if trust is earned, it is given.
This is my intro to the story "me and My Snapper".
Oh, and being someone who likes to run Contests, I think we should have a Contest called "Name My Snapper".
Here are a couple of pics. I've also got a lot of story. Believe it or not, yesterday at lunch at the North ...... The video is AMAZING, well no, but the story is good.
