Or we're so secure and happy with who we are that we don't need unconditional love from a pet.

.

That at is a wonderful article.

That alone makes me happy I found my way back here! :):taz::)

In my case, it's because I find myself in awe of the color patterns and the almost hypnotic grace of a snake's movement. They have a beauty that is singular in the animal kingdom.

Nice article. Personally, I keep them because I enjoy them aesthetically.. Their patterns and colors, their body forms, etc. I also enjoy handling them... Quite a different experience than your typical cat / dog. The much lower maintenance aspect is great as well. I was just able to check tubs and water for my 10 snakes in about 5 minutes... Aside from tub cleaning and feeding night, that ain't bad for 10 pets lol. My cat takes up much more time every day. They do suit someone with a busy lifestyle much better than a conventional pet.

Wow, thanks for the kind words guys!

There I was minding my own business and suddenly a strange traffic spike emerges from BP.net...:)

I've been a lurker of these forums for a while but seeing this thread made me realize it's time to make an account and say hello. So...hi!

Worked for me!:)

I have to admit, I love reptiles because they're so misunderstood. I've met multiple people who ask me why I have a snake because they're "disgusting" and "evil" and "in the Bible, a snake told eve to eat the forbidden fruit"... I mostly give them a blank stare at the latter. I'm covered in tattoos and piercings, one of my tattoos is a pentacle (I'm wiccan). You really think I care what a thousand year old book says? But without getting into a religious debate I enjoy learning things about them I never knew. They're so misunderstood. They have feelings just like every other animal, they just can't make noise to tell you what their feelings are (except threatened. You'll know).

I just laugh...HARD...when somebody tells me snakes are the devil. lol.

One of the comments I get often is "snakes don't blink!" Well obviously they don't, would you blink if your eye was a scale?
