Man everyone gets so defensive about bringing your snake places. Jeez I love to take mine everywhere on warm days. I take him to the park, to school, down the street, to friends houses. I don't see how that is going to be BAD for my snake. It hasn't killed him yet. Now I can't read snakes minds but I think he rather enjoys it. To educate people AND also because it's nice to walk with the pet I love and adore so much. This may sound cruel but I could care less about whether some one gets scared by him. I sure as hell didn't buy him to keep him in that little glass cage. I want to show him off. I want to show him to the world!
Now I know I am probably going to get some flaming posts after putting this down in writing.
Just please remember this is just MY opinion.
