[casper1963]

was just wondering if there are any laws about taking snakes out in public and i do not mean venemus ones and not in the cold winter months just that a while back i see someone out in public with an adult corn snake just not heard of people doin that

There isn't any...AFAIK
But there are Public order offences that could be placed...Depending on what you got, where you are, and what your doing.....

Anyone can order you off private or council owned land, ie. parks which are council owned, but there is no general law about removing them from your house as long as you are not on someone elses property against their wishes. It's generally not wise to do it for too long - especially with the temperatures in winter time, the animals will cool down pretty quickly.

If you took a snake out or an animal that could bite someone you could also potentially get sued as a public liability.

its ok i wasnt wantin to take mine out id be to scared some idiot would harm them or they get ill from the cold although i do take them to organised events in local schools i was just interested as it struck a bit strange to see some one out with one

I believe it changes from council to council. Some councils actually get the police involved if you have one out on public grass. Places like Barry it doesn't matter as watching a man with a albino burm in the street is not uncommon. It really does depend on the individual council.
