[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1334017, member: 239"] It's probably just me so don't take this the wrong way please. And it is not my intention to denigrate your choice of pet but: Snakes are cool for sure and are an important part of the eco system. But you can't walk 'em, teach 'em tricks; can't teach 'em to talk like you can a bird. There not as active as fish nor as colorful as a fish or bird, you can't play with 'em like you can a cat. Can't race around a yard with 'em, hunt with 'em like a dog or a falcon/hawk/eagle or anything else one traditionally does with a pet. It's doubtful they get excited when you come home or when its time to eat. ETC ETC ETC I truly am interested in understanding the allur of owning a snake that could at just about any time decide to choke the life out of you and when/if there'd be nothing you could do about it. Push comes to shove humans have pets because they fill a need that the human has. What I'm asking I guess, is how a snake can fill any human need/why anyone would want one? [/QUOTE]
