I get this question all the time. So lets let people know why we keep Snakes or Reptiles as pets. You never know. Some body might be trying to convence a parent to buy them a BP. As for me I love animals and reptiles, I always have. I am Trying to teach my son the value of them. I try to convence People everyday that reptiles are as much part of someone life as dog or a cat. I just though i would like to hear other peoples views too.
