This is not pc nor chipper but it is honest.
Explain the passion! Explain it so maybe I can get it.
I wanted the energy of a snake for years....and liked the ball python because it is well...clingy. Then on impulse I bought one 3 years ago. She is a sweet animal, never bites, tolerates handling, and is very very finicky. Yes I knew all that beforehand but still. I am summoned to provide a living sacrifice every week and I do so. But I have to admit, it is not fulfilling.
She is constantly hiding and really does not like being handled though tolerates it well (and yes I guess I knew that ahead of time so no rude lectures please).
But what is the passion? For the veteran BP owners what is it? Because I just don't quite get it. Sweet in a quiet way yes, harmless yes, hidden and prefers to stay in the hide 24/7, yes. Honestly while she is quiet and harmless I am failing to get it, if I need to sacrifice a rat to the snake god every week I would at least like the eye candy of the snake lounging around. I do not enjoy the live feeding bit, I suppose some enjoy that thrill but not me....so help me see the upside as quite honestly if I am going to go through this every week I should have bought boa or other display species that would at least lounge around and be seen even if they don't want to be handled.
