Why would anyone keep any kind of snake as a pet? I can’t understand it, but then some even keep poisonous snakes as pets...that is really outrageous. I’ll never even try to understand that one!
They’re friendly, fascinating and non-allergenic.
Easy to keep, once you get their particular environmental variables right.
They’re quiet in apartment type settings and require no daily exercise.
Not everyone is able to have a cat or dog.
I know people whose hearts were broken when their aged snake finally passed on.
It’s easy to love something that “loves” you back.
