Well, my only objection to this actually has to do with the material in a public speaking course.
When I took Speech, I thought about the very same thing. However, in the material it talks about distractions. People might be too distracted by the snake to actually focus on what you are saying.
A good alternative is to, if you are allowed or required, create a power point and take pictures of your snake and put those pictures in the slide. That way, your animal is on display but people are also no distracted.
You can also cite yourself for the pictures in the power point.
