First problem I have with this: Although it is small and perhaps docile, I think it could bite into his "gruff and tough" lip if so inclined.
Number two: I really wouldn't care if it were a personal pic for he and his friends alone to laugh over, but as a professional wildlife trapper - is this a very responsible image to project?
Number three: Where I live we have a lot of ringnecks, hence a fair number of corals. From my observations, corals are nervous, jerky snakes. I had a large 3 + foot one on my carport one day the was biting the hell out of a shovel I was using to pick it up. And I was being gentle.
Of course, Darwin probably didn't act here. Fools often seem to have the best luck...
How many times have you heard about the drunk driver surviving when everyone else died?
