And feeding is not gonna cost you all that much compare to any other pet you could have. same with vet care, if I compare a snake cost versus on of my dog cost it's nothing.
I know, I tell this to my daughters all the time. They want a dog but I’m very ill, on a budget. Four ball pythons are so much cheaper then just one medium sized dog. Tons cheaper, like you mentioned the yearly vet checks alone. And I don’t got to walk them when I’m sick and tired, lol.
