I can't help but feeling that this is incredibly irresponsible. While many people may warm up to it there have likely been other that have been sent into a panic attack. My mom once walked into my house through the back door whe she stopped by to say hi on her way home from work and when she walked into the living room and saw my snake she screamed and went into the kitchen and stood in a corner until I put it away. Granted, she was bitten by a baby western DB once and nearrly died, but that was her reaction. I know there are people out there that will completely break downa nd lose control becuase their fears have so much control over them, and doing this can bring those fears up. Again, incredibly irresponsible. ALso, carpet pythons brumating (said to hibernate in the article)? Not quite, geniuses.
