Personally, I wouldn't want to simply because of how others may react. They have an irrational fear. If they don't see the snake, and its suddenly in their face, I can't imagine that would go over well... Even if I have several people over, I will bring people who want to see the snakes to the room, I wont bring the snakes out to everyone just in case someone isn't interested.

If I was deathly afraid of something, I wouldn't want to stumble upon one randomly out in public.
