I would not recomend taking your snake out in public as it could get you in some hot water.If someone is totally terrified of snakes has a heart attack you could be liable for damages.Also some cities it is illegal to have exotics in public places. Why take a chance and possibly have your snake taken away from you.What i am saying is true and has happened in a few places.Enjoy your reptile in your own yard where you can not get into any trouble .
