Taking BP out and about?

[rabernet]

I agree 100% that there is little to no reward for the snake. However the reward for those people you may encounter (I feel) could and should significantly outweigh any possible negative repercussions.

And I will have to respectfully disagree with the bolded part.

Having been through several years of fighting bill after bill after bill with the Reptile Nation and USARK, I still don't believe taking a snake to a public event to show just how cool you are because you have a snake around your neck is a good idea.

There are many other controlled and better environments in which to educate.
