Snakes are great pets for the RIGHT people, those who will do the research, the husbandry work, and understand what they are signing up for.

Good luck.

Agree (!) & as people live closer together, or spend a good part of their time at work, snakes are great pets that aren't outside annoying neighbors, & they're always quiet pets!

No fish aquariums leaking water & damaging floors either. For those living in apartments or with room-mates, snakes are ideal, and don't require time-consuming walks.

Compared to other pets, a properly maintained (escape proof!) snake is a landlord's dream pet that doesn't spread fleas or howl/bark or scratch the walls & doors.

I feel like the mortality rate is something that people don't consider when purchasing Ball Pythons and in my opinion is a negative.

20-30 is quite a commitment and I don't think it's a serious thought in most people's heads.
