Our intent was not to start any kind of bash-fest, but we agree with Mike.
Think of it this way...
What if you were to "pig-out" all weekend long and just lay around the house, then work all week and just eat a few snacks here and there. Now, if you did this week after week, how do you think you would be feeling come Thursday or Friday?
I know in the wild these animals take what they can get when they can get it, but we are supposed to be giving them the best care we can provide.
I really like the idea that Mike gave in regards to a rotation. I hope that is something that you can incorporate. In addition to the feeding, this could also reduce the amount of stress they are exposed to being around strangers.
I understand by not taking them, you might be missing an opportunity to adopt out the animal that is at home. One option would be to take pictures of the animal(s) that aren't in attendance, that way people could still see pictures of the snake and if they ask why you didn't bring them you could tell them that they were recently fed and didn't want to take a chance of people getting poo'd on. Not only will it get a great laugh, but it shows your dedication to their well-being.
I hope you don't feel like we are ganging up on you, we are just concerned about the well-being of your animals. Ultimately, you have the final choice, we are just making suggestions.
Take care.
