I’ve had my share of them as pets, including venomous ones. Right now I have a 4’ and a 1.5’ ball python. Cool animals and very docile, unless you are a rodent of course
Glad I’m not a rodent! ;o)
When I picked my daughter up at NC State, she said, “I don’t believe I’ve told you about Murray.”
Murray turned out to be a ribbon snake.
I didn’t like that one bit, but he came home to live with us.
My brother-in-law has always had snakes.
His mother quit taking them to school the day the copperhead got out of it’s cage in the car.
He’s almost 50, and his home is a literal zoo...right down to the piranha.
