Snakes around the neck?

[Zoo Nanny]

This has been a very interesting thread to read. Holding any snake on shoulders or neck was grounds for immediate termination at the zoos I worked. Snakeman you should think about the message that you are giving to young people. A young teen seeing others carry their snakes around the neck feel it's ok for them to also. All a teen needs to do is go on Craigslist and get themselves a snake "to be cool" unfortunetly they also may risk being cold if they allow the snake around their necks.
