So, I was in this pet store the other day...

Well, you could get that skunk and also bring him to the shows you plan to do with the reptiles at schools and other places! There, now we brought it back to your skunk!
I love the idea of doing educational shows. I know the kids in your area will love it and greatly benefit from it. I do hope you'll get these licenses needed and go ahead with all your plans and dreams. Hey, you only live once - make this one count. Go for it!
