Three or four men have been touting pythons and other snakes at the last couple of St. Patrick’s Day festivals. They often are mobbed by fascinated half-drunk women and equally drunk guys who want to show their courage.

It’s not a good combination for humans or snakes, two local reptile handlers say.
“You put people under the influence with a potentially dangerous animal and you could have a problem,” said Thaddaus Depper, a manager at Exotic Underworld pet store.
Depper knows the man who brings an albino Burmese python to the festival, and he estimates the snake is nearly 10 feet long.
“That animal could potentially harm someone severely,” he said.
Even in his own store, Depper won’t take out a python longer than 7 feet unless he has another employee standing by because of the risk of being encircled and crushed.

He also sees risk in approaching a person terrified of snakes on a crowded street.
“There’s the phobia aspect,” he said. “If you take a snake around a person who’s terrified of them, they can totally freak out. I almost had a lady make a new front door trying to get away from a snake in here one day.”

Savannah’s cooler March temperatures aren’t good for the snakes, either, said Brian Nettles, owner of Cold Blood Adventures, which does reptile shows for parties and other events. He also points out that, just like dogs, snakes that aren’t well-socialized can get stressed from being in public and being handled excessively.
Nettles, though, didn’t have as many reservations about a well-cared-for, socialized snake mixing with the masses.
