Yes Aeries, but there are better ways to do it where the snakes are put first! Many zoos have reptile demonstrations to educate the public that snakes are not evil animals and they do it while keeping the snakes in happy, pristine condition. Why should we be willing to compromise the snakes' health when there are win/win ways to educate and give the snakes the best care possible. There are alternatives to shock value!
