It is still a very irresponsible act and shows an utter disregard for what this animal represents.....even a bite from a "venomoid" gaboon is not something you will soon forget. Yes, this is a beautiful snake, I won't argue that, but the manner in which it was being handled (venomoid or not) shows that some folks probably shouldn't own venomous reptiles. Just my .02.
