Is it OK to let your snakes sunbathe in the park?

Is it OK to let your snakes sunbathe in the park?

A man who takes his snakes to his local public park sparks a debate about what animals are acceptable in public spaces.

I agree with him, if people can take dogs out in public why not snakes (as long as not venomous).
- If it's on a leash sure but having dogs off leashes isn't allowed here either unless it's a designated zone.
  
  Where's here? Most places I've been are ok with dogs off lead.
  
  If it’s on a leash
  Not sure how you'd go about putting a leash on a snake
  
  leashes That's leads here, Uncle Sam!
As long as he picks their shit up and deposits it in a designated receptacle 🤷‍♂️
- Most of the receptacles in my area specifically say “Dog Waste Only” How can I locate my nearest snake waste bin?
  
  Hmm, this might be when we realise that we have to turn against this public menace.
I fucking love this country (sometimes)
I'd be worried some dog would maul the snake.
Another pondered what newspaper headline writers would make of the snakes going for a ride on the park's miniature railway, while someone else opened up a second front in the debate by claiming to have once seen people with ferrets in the park.
They did a real life Monty Python sketch.
