anyone who loves animals and had a lot of pets has usually owned one at one point or at least considered it.
i had a california rosy boa when i was a kid and didn't enjoy it at all. snakes are lousy pets and really only for show. a snake isn't fuzzy or cuddly, can't do tricks, can't serve a purpose (pest control, guard ability, stress relief), can't be a companion, can't communicate, high maintenance, can be expensive and difficult to keep. of course, ANY pet can be some of these things but a snake is all of them so there really is no good reason to have a snake as a pet unless you're one of those people who just have to be 'different,' who i can't stand. even a beautiful tank of fish is at least decorative and a stress relief.
