Sorry, I am sure he (she?) is a perfectly nice snake but I lived in the tropics to long to be fond of them.
I like animals in different ways, some I like to have live with me, some I like to admire from a respectful distance, some I like on a plate and some I like very far away from me.
ridiculous standard nobody holds themselves to with any other things they love. i love animals but you are an idiot if you go try to get into a bear cage to pet the bear. to compare domesticated pet animals to dangerous wild animals and imply we should view and and “love” them the same way as pets is the most liberal fail logic you can resort to. that is total bs.
