Seeking Input for Presentation on 'Why Snakes make the Best Pets'

Then, the second part to this would be pet keeping. Point out how people with allergies can still enjoy companionship. How more and more people are keeping reptiles due to busy work life and how that works for them. How some snakes can eat more than rats and mice, so a keeper can have options if they are not comfortable with rodent prey. 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.
