Re: Snakes around the neck?
Steve irwin is NOT stupid!! Just because u put a snake around your neck doesnt make you an idiot! Everyone has their opinoin, but just because some people put snakes around their necks doesnt make them idiots! Whatever, if you want to waste your time argueing about what happens when a snake is around your neck, fine be my guest.

First of all, it's "was" not "is." The man died years ago.
Its really not the fact that a corn snake or a young ball python is much of a danger. But the point that many of us are making is that the idiots out there (and there are a large number of them in this hobby!) see it, and think its equally okay to do the same thing with their adult carpets, BCIs, retics, and burms. That is irresponsible, plain and simple.
That is why there is this "push" for a paradigm shift to simply discourage everyone from doing it.
And to reply to your last statement, we will, thank you...as we have for several pages now.

Re: Snakes around the neck?
I had my 500 gram ball python around my neck the other day, I had to take him off right away, he is strong even though he is little! I can't wear turtle necks and tightg neck shirts, I start to gag. So Ecko is no longer allowed up there. I'll toss an adult corn over my shoulder if I need to do something like fill up the water dish or change the paper, I don't allow them to go around my neck.
I did a photo shoot with some of my snakes(corns) and one of my rules was no snakes around the models neck. The shoot went very well, the photographer was scared at first and now wants a snake.
I have the same rule for my kids too. No snakes around your neck. They mainly want to hold the ball python because he is so calm. Of course they are not allowed to handle them without me present and within arms lenght. You have to be smart with your snakes. The public is already scared enough of snakes it's time to show them they are not the monsters they have been made out to be.

Re: Snakes around the neck?
Germany had the concept of the "evil Santa" a.k.a."Knecht Ruprecht" or "Hans Muff". His coat was black, and he carried switches to beat the naughty kids. (The whole concept is no longer quite as fashionable as it once was.)
Korbin may be a good candidate for a visit, though.

Only if they are looking for him to go the way of the grave.
On a side note Hans Muff makes me laugh.... it could be the next bond girl's name.
