physically holding a snake around your neck is not harmful to the animal but may be for the holder(depending on the species).

the people you see doing it all the time are most likely people who crave attention and know little about the animal that they care for. also the people doing this are most likely unaware of the extra stress they are putting on their animal and most likely give out incorrect information to curious bystanders or scare the hell out of others.

either way it is not too great for the animal and for the image of all us reptile owners out there.

and just because something is seen all the time does not necessarily make it okay. am i right?
