The reactions can be amusing at times yes. For anyone reading this, it's never a good idea to bring your snake in public like that. It can easily stress the snake out. You're also bringing the animal into someone's space who may be afraid of it, especially someone in an elevator! That's a very small area where they can't escape and someone can have a serious reaction to being afraid. A lot of people have a snake phobia.

Also what if the snake bit someone? There'd be an uproar of public outcry in that building that it should be gone and well it just spreads fear. I prefer to keep my snakes to myself and the chance of mishaps to a very small number.

i know your talking about me and the evavator story; my snake will not bite its the most tame thing in the world. i litteraly feed it out of my hand. and plus i had to go show my apt complex what she looked like.... but i do agree with you, i usuallydont take my snake any where!

I've seen plenty of "tame" snakes and plenty of those "tame" snakes have turned around to bite someone, or at the least, strike at someone. You shouldn't trust an animal that lives off instinct.

look man i dont want to get in a damn argument about my snake, who spends all day with it, and who lives in another country? im pretty sure i know my snake and LIKE I SAID my apt complex owners made me take it up there so they could see it...

I am more concerned with just stating the fact that it's not a good practice to do on a regular basis, or at all, to any new snake owners who may be reading this.

i know bro, i totally understand, like i said tho i had no choice... but i DO agree with you

I totally understand what you're saying Aaron and I think that's great advice for anybody/everybody on this forum who happens to read it. It wasn't me who had him in the elevators it was his previous owner. If it makes you feel just a tiny bit better it was one of those apartments where everybody knows everybody, so when they saw her they shouldn't have been surprised.
Cheers,
Ken
