    Re: Is it legal to walk around outside with your snake?

    If the reason is that it just bugs you personally, that's perfectly fine, but other people reading this thread should know that's the reason, and it's not because it harms you or the snake. If you have other reasons that you think it is bad for either the keeper or the snake, I'd like to know that as well. Just asking for clarification since 'you shouldn't let your BP sit on your neck/shoulders' isn't a very commonly heard piece of advice.
    Because it is not a very healthy habit to let reptiles of any kind to get near your facial area. It's sort of a no brainier. It's not sanitary or "good hygiene". And after years of keeping large constrictors it could be very hazardous. Sorry to say this, but you think an experienced keeper would be aware of these things. Not to mention if it did decide to bite you, your face would make an excellent target. Remember And anything that slithers in its own waste is not something I would want by my head in general. And with your mouth emitting all that heat, what a target. Need I say more.
