I dont know if it's good enough reason or if they really needed it but I figured if they got some natural fresh air it wouldn't hurt anyone. I was just mainly worried about temperature bothering the snakes. But you're right, however, same goes for all pets.. People take their dogs, cats, birds, lizards and I even saw a monkey once. Some people are afraid of those listed. Heck, I saw a lady bring in her lemur. Did she have a reason? Probably not other than wanting to show it off. But the times I've taken my boa I've gotten a positive result so far. Kids petting it, asking questions about them, taking pictures with it. But I can definitely see where you're coming from. Thank you for your input though!
