I recently attended the Florida Annual Skunk Show. It was not the first time I have attended the show, but it was the first time I have entered my own skunks into the show. Because a lot of the skunks that I keep are rescues, they often have little idiosyncrasies that I was worried would keep them from being able to handle the judging table. For instance, my champagne skunk gets highly stressed in crowds and will drool and pant in a way that would remove her from any sort of "best in show" running if they take appearance into account at all. I was pleasantly surprised by how well my babies did.
