Something has been concerning me lately and I want to get others' opinions on the matter. I have noticed a lot of folks at festivals, parties, and other loud, boisterous events wearing their snakes as accessories (who wouldn't want to do that?) and although I know that these people genuinely love their snake companions, is it healthy for a snake to be paraded around in such an environment?
My 2 main concerns are these:
1) Is the snake's temp at a healthy level? Many of these snake-wearers have been spotted in the PNW and even in the summer, there are cooler temps at night. If you, as a warm-blooded mammal have to wear a coat, what makes you think the snake is warm enough?
2) Since we know snakes are highly sensitive to sound and vibration, do loud crowds and music, heavy bass blasted from the speakers stress out the snakes? The answer seems obvious to me but I'm a newbie in this subject so I am totally open to being educated.
So what do you all think on the matter?
