So true, I have yet to meet someone that has 1 snake and does not want more.

I like how there are so many people who come up with stories about how bad snakes are because of their lack of knowledge. I had a conversation with my dad lat night about this and I said the only reason he doenst like them (though i did lose one but managed to find it) is because he doesnt know much about them like many other people. I explained how I have an irrational fear of spiders, idk why that is but im just creeped out and the same goes for snakes, just because people say they are bad. If we were told at a young age the rabbits or dogs or something were bad, then it would go the same way. All of these different theories are usually from people who have an irrational fear or misunderstanding about the animal.

Tyff i have 25 snakes and a chameleon in my room and i can tell u when there all eating and pooping there are no toxins making me sick. So that is total b.s. If u were to say touch the poop and put ur hands by ur mouth then yeah your prob gonna get sick.
