Hahaha, you should have brought the sausage butt and taught the kids the game called "russian roulette' snake style!!
"Alright kids, the game is you all line up and each of you takes a turn at putting the tip of the snake tail to your forehead for 10 secs" lol.
And to the OP, like mentioned, i would probably just bring one. Your most trusted one. A snake is a snake and can and will do weird and unpredictable stuff. Rosey who i have had for over 5 years as a baby and never so much as hissed at people and even sat there while the vet stuck a needle in the lump on her nose, did tag my arm when i startled her when i assume she was sleeping in the front of her cage. Things can happen, they are snakes.
