So go for it then. It's totally up to you & her. Remind her the signs of a snake that is distressed or uncomfortable (also that in such warm weather, they can
more easily over-heat since our hands are 98.6* too). I suspect since she's interested that she'll be fine, but I'd want HER to take out a snake on her own as
a "demo" first, while you're still home & observing, & then go from there.
