Nope, I dont wear snandles. And dont take my snakes out to "Play"?
Re: i still cant belive this
most people do not take their snakes out to "play" for very long, let alone outside the house running errands as it causes alot of stress for the snake, and doesnt allow the snake to thermoregulate it's temperature...
However, yes, I have had my snakes poo and pee all over me.
Re: i still cant belive this
I have been peed on by my snake, and all my geckos at least once. I don't take them out of the house like that though, maybe in the back yard for a quick photo but the risk of something happening is too great, especially with the geckos being arboreal. Plus they are nocturnal so I don't really disturb them during the day very much, unless I am spot cleaning or scrubbing cages.

Nope, I don't take my snakes out on errands with me, because I don't find any benefit in doing so, and I don't care to scare others who have real phobias of snakes and might decide to complain loudly enough to get regulations passed that may prevent me from keeping my animals.
I've only had one snake pee on me.

Re: i still cant belive this
Yea, both of my snakes have pooped on me, but the farthest they go is down the street to my boyfriends house for a half-hour, max. My Bearded Dragon I take out to farther places though- and yes, hes pood on me too. lol.

Good Point Robin, after you mentioned this I went at looked at my city ordinance regarding exotics.
None for the city I live in, but the one I used to live in not 5 minutes drive from here has one.
Stating that any exotic, defined as anything over 3 feet that can cause damage to small animals or children (under 18) shall not be publicly displayed within the city limits, on public property. $300 fine and up to 6 months in jail.
So I would check on that, it may be illegal.
Re: i still cant belive this
Boa: peed on me 3 times (the one time with her butt inside my jeans pocket was fun).
Ball: peed on husband once.
Corn: peed and pooped while I was holding him twice but luckily got him over tile floor before he nailed me.
Burm: peed and pooped while I was holding him once...aaaaall over the carpet. A lot. Eeewww. We moved house.
Yeah, I don't take snakes on errands either. I kinda wish I could, but the above stated reasons are definitely enough to not. =)

Dude, you took your snake on the subway?
