Do you ever take your snake out in public?
Its getting to the time of year where its around 30 degrees in my town. Ive been thinking of maybe going for a walk with my snake around a few blocks, just for something to do and to give her some fresh air. Does anyone do this regularly? What reactions do you get? The last thing I want is for people to feel uncomfortable when I come walking down the street with a snake in my hands. Let me know! Thanks!
Re: Do you ever take your snake out in public?
I agree with all your replies. The most I would do is take her out in my backyard. Walking down the street or into a public area with a snake seems totally unecessary and pointless. The last thing I want is for some lady to give me crap because shes afraid of snakes or whatever.. I really cant handle the over-reaction from people like that especially when Im holding a corn snake thats less thick than my fist and the length of my arm lmao.

I take mine outside and let her slither in the grass for about an hour. She doesn't try to make a run for it or anything, and seems to enjoy the warm sun. Artificial light only gets you so far, so the real deal is a treat for them, I'm sure.

I haven't taken any of my snakes out in public yet but I do want to take them outside for pictures soon. I think a little fresh air and sunshine are good for most critters. I'm also not very concerned about public opinion. Some folks are scared of dogs, and some don't like cats or birds, but they're still exposed to them at times. I don't believe that we have to keep our pets hidden away simply out of fear of the public's phobias or criticisms. We're entitled to enjoy our pets as we see fit as long as we're not threatening or hurting anyone. I'm more concerned about stressing out the snakes, potential parasites, and birds of prey. Those are the reasons I'm somewhat reluctant to take my snakes outside not what other people might think. Live and let live.
