Thank you for getting my sense of humour. Some of the people here are so serious! And somewhat inconsistent.
Yeah I'm in the process of training my little guy to be comfortable around my neck, putting him there and sitting/walking around at home for increasing durations.
I find the attitude about only ever keeping snakes trapped in an opaque plastic tub, strange. At any reptile expo there are hundreds of snakes "out in public", in less than optimal husbandry conditions, yet the snakes manage to survive the 'ordeal' of being transported, seen and handled by many strangers in a bright and noisy environment for hours.
