Last month in Denver, a customer asked me to run cable through his pet snake's enclosure

He had a six foot boa constrictor in a big glass tank and wanted the line to go from the living room wall, under the tank, and up through a hole in the lid. He said the snake was 'friendly' and wouldn't mind. I told him I'd do the wall plate and the drop, but he was on his own for the reptile interior design. He looked so disappointed, like I was the first installer to say no. Has anyone else gotten a truly wild request like that?

It's not always about the danger though. Some jobs are just outside the scope of what you're hired to do. The guy probably just really wanted his setup to look clean.

Wow, that is a whole new level of "special request." Good on you for drawing a line, man. Some people have zero sense of danger or just think their pet is the exception to everything. Honestly, the fact other installers might have done it is the wildest part to me. My line would have been drawn way before that snake tank.

Yeah but the "other installers" part is what makes me wonder.
