I'll be more blunt than thecaiman. It's foolish to walk around in public with a snake. The only benefit is to your ego as you show off your "cool pet". This type of action hurts responsible snake keepers because snakes, more than other types of pets, elicit fear/anxiety in people. If you want people to get to know snakes better, please set up proper educational programs.

As for the regurgitation and respiratory distress, the advice you received previously is good. For those without an experienced eye, snakes don't show many signs of stress. Please be kind to your animal; leave it alone for at least a couple of days after it eats.
