it might not seem that there is harm in doing this but as jonno said, if you have a phobia of dogs then everyday you leave the house then you will expect to be somehow confronted with a dog. the same cant be said for someone who as another member has said, goes down to bunnings to buy a new toilet seat. this forum aside, if you took a random survey of people at bunnings as to their fears with snakes i would say around 50% would have some fear of snakes. i doubt the number would be anywhere near as high as some fear of dogs.
now obviously we fear some dogs more than others but to your average joe, a snake is a snake regardless of its species or whether it bites.
i dont agree with taking your reptiles out and about for walks etc, especially snakes. I think they should only be taken out for necessary reasons like vets or buying/selling or for educational presentations if your a demonstrator.
i dont want to slander anyone, especially a newbie as we have all made errors in judgement but in my humble opinion they should not be taken out.
on another note im pretty sure its illegal to take snake out just for a joyride, the only times its legal is the reasons i gave above but it might be different in other states.
