Perhaps we are "weird" in a sense that we tend to love these solitary animals who hardly show any interest in us, let alone care if we even existed. An unrequited love, perhaps? :P

So incredibly true. This has got to be one of the easiest pets to keep. Possibly one of the easiest reptiles to keep.

I love the fact that they ask so little... unlike every other creature in my house (boys I love you! But your mother is tired :P ). All my snakes want is an appropriate enclosure, good temperatures, hydration, and a nice ratsicle (or mousicle in the case of the sand boas) every week or two.

They're just freaking awesome.

I wanted to make it even more difficult to get a girlfriend? haha!

Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed reading this.

I usually tell people that as a scientist I see them as a vestigial remnant of our primordial evolutionary past. Pure, unadulterated predators.

I'm waiting for it to talk.

I actually wrote a blog post on this back in 2012 when we got our first snake... 1, which quickly became 2, when then became 4.

Now we're up to six, and I keep staring at sunglow BCIs...
