If the snakes are properly secured I see no problem with having kids and herps. I have a 3 year old and I have snakes. They are kept in locking cages that are locked in my bedroom and we have never had an escape. I think having and educating kids about them early will keep them from having the ridiculous fears that some people have when they get older.
