Well this made me LOL, but most of my non-herp friends were mortified !
no offence but that was really stupid and dangerous for that person to have their snake out and moving around on public transport, there could have been someone on the train who has a snake phobia who could have possibly placed themselves in a dangerous situation trying to get away
definitely NOT something that should have happened
i gather that wasnt in Australia? if she isnt that person breaking his licence conditions?
good ones rockethead
actually recharge the last time i looked i couldnt take my cats or dogs on public transport unless my dog was a 'working' dog and if people didnt like that they have the choice to not take the train/bus and wait for the next one, ive also rarely seen someone on public transport with a bird of any sort sitting on their shoulders
im pretty sure its ILLEGAL for this person to have the snake out in public and out of its container like this person has, he risked a heck of a lot by letting it crawl all over him on public transport, i do believe you can only take your reptile outside your home to attend a vet, perhaps he had another reason to have it out in public, im willing to admit he may have a licence that allows him to do so but im pretty sure 'this' photo demonstrates no matter what he would have been outside the rules of any licence, he could have very well had his snake removed
there is a big difference between a school banning high fives (which is silly) and the idiotic act of this moron and if you dont see the difference then i think it is 'YOUR' problem not mine nor do i expect to bubble wrap the world but again being confronted with a snake on a public train is NOT a normal everyday occurrence and im guessing you would think it was totally ok if it had been a venomous snake ?????? would it be perfectly ok to him to whip out say a red bellied black, wrap it around his neck and to hell with any passengers nearby especially a child?
and i guess all those commuters who werent happy with it are just 'haters' huh and should have just shut up and got off the train?
you need to accept there are people out there who DO have snake phobias and confronting this on pubic transport is the LAST thing they should have to expect OR accept
thought you were tall!!!
