This has given some interesting opinions, it's been good.
I for one personally wouldn't bring my snakes to the park for a wander in the grass, however I will happily do it in the garden and at the end of the day there's just as much chance of catching a bug from in the garden as there is in the park.
I'd imagine that most people who were scared of snakes wouldn't come to close to it, and those that are interested would. It does seem a bit show offy, but to be honest if I had that snake I'd probably wanna show it off as well, however just putting it in the boot was a bit silly.
There's also a massive difference to bringing it for a walk in the park compared to just bringing it downtown and wearing like a some sort of fashion accessory/handbag.
The small girl with the little BCI for example seemed to me to be the one who was more wearing it to show off compared to the lad who was just taking it 'for a walk'. |

I have to say,if my son was with me he'd be perfectly happy about the snakes but he's petrified of dogs and having an dog jump up at him last time we went a park really didn't help (owner had no control over it at all!)
I love all animals but personally would be happier if they had a seperate dog area because of the small minority of irresponsible pet owners.
Its idiots like these that tarnish things for good pet owners,whatever type of animal it is. |

So what about dogs? Some people have a real fear of them but you wouldnt stop somebody taking their dog for a walk in the park?
Dont get me wrong though, taking a snake for a walk is a daft idea, i mean they'll just slip straight out of the collar. 
That's what metal boots/big hiking boots are for. |

purely attention-seeking irresponsible male chickens the lot of them 
that made me soooooo cross!
and the BCI round the daughter's neck, my god!! not only do they want to risk their pets' welfare to show off but their daughter's too?? 
they prolly had a tip-off there was a film crew out with their local RSPCA...............bunch of  s! |

watched that the other day - why put it in the boot of a car? and not inside a rub? (askin 4 trouble IMO)
just seems like they got a big snake so they could show it off |

A walk??????? Surely that would be dangerous for snakey considering what is on the floor in some places and that it can get quite cold sometimes :/ |

I had to replay when they said 'taking it for a walk'...showoffs if you ask me!
Also stupid for not using a box or bag
just glad he's out safely! |

I agree,seems a daft place to put snakes. Never heard of snake walking myself,do they recommend collars or harnesses lol!! |
