I did a presentation back in high school about my snakes in my biology class and brought some in, about 10 of them from what I remember (12 years ago!!!), ranging from baby corn snakes to adult carpet pythons. I didn't let anyone touch anything because of the slight chance of something happening and the only permission I needed was from my teacher. I find this to be the safest approach (hands off) without causing any issue. I feel that the issues mentioned in the above quote are worth noting even though we are much more relaxed about these issues up here (for now...).
