i can completely see where the both of you are coming from.
When you "know" you can be responsible about it, if you're used to handling your snake often is seems like an alright idea, especially if you have stuff to do, but in all honesty it probably is not the best for MOST people.
This is not to say that some people out there wouldnt be extremely careful and watchful of every move their pet made, but speaking for people like me (exTREMELY spacey and forgetful) it prob just is a bad idea in general for the well being of the snake
I love my snake so much and I know that she doesnt even have emotions like me so to a degree I can recognize that as silly but its just the way I am haha and BECAUSE of this I tend to want to take her everywhere with me like a FRIEND, but knowing how I am I wouldnt chance it. I am guilty of coming close to taking her out for halloween w/ me.
I was cleopatra and she would have been a great accessory to my get up lol but I ended up deciding against it because I didnt know how long I would end up at the costume party and I thought people might want to touch her and the loud music and smells and all of that would be just too much for the poor little thing.
haha I know that sounds SO stupid im sure and Im ashamed to say it but hey... while we're being honest lol

.... what matters is that I DIDNT end up doing that!
I really am a kind & humane person I promise.
