Ummm... not sure I follow your logic... So we are only allowed to be fascinated and enjoy observing/the husbandry involvement of non venomous snakes? But the minute that our fascination falls into the realm of hots, its only because we are trying to be cool/have an ego? And I'm not asking that rhetorically. Seriously, do tell what your logic is behind that statement.
Pretty sure there is quite a large community of keepers who are incredibly knowledgable and passionate about hots that would disagree with you..
