I have to say, I have seen those people at shows and do not understand it. OK, I get it, you have a boa, nice, I think I saw 20 just like them over there. Or wait is it more like "This is my riffle, there are many like it, but this one is mine" Because really that is what you are holding, somthing that can go off at any time.
No one should really ever trust their snake to that point. There was a story about a guy who use to bring his snake out to the bars for its birthday. It lived 20 years, but on its last birthday it bit the guy in the face. You never know. When you dealing with kids, you bring yourself the chance of lawsuit and worse yet negative attention to the hobby.
So, if you are looking to do shows, I would first say never let a kid get by the head. If you want to pursue this, contact Rob Carmicheal.
So, I agree with you, hold for 20 min and 20 min off, and repeat 7 times is not a good answer. You never know.
