It is not suggested to wrap snakes around your neck, because it could increase your chance of being bit in the face. Also salmonella runs though the snake’s digestive tract. If the snake has salmonella, has defecated, and got some on him, putting him around your neck could increase your chance of getting salmonella poisoning. For example, if the snake brushes up against your face.
