It's true about hobbies being dangerous.

For instance, my hubby is into RC cars and planes. Sounds safe, right? Until he mentioned that the batteries he uses are miniature bombs and would destroy half of the house if one overheated or was improperly charged.

So, where is the safety factor? Something as innocent looking as a battery the size of a stick of gum is capable of blowing up my house. And he has like 15 of these things. Compared to a properly kept and handled venomous snake, I'd take the snake I think!

Aside from that, I got my first two snakes just because I was fascinated by them. I have 8 now, and while I do plan to breed someday, even if I never bred, if I had the money my collection would probably number in the hundreds. It seems like every time I see a new morph, I have an "I want that!!" moment. If I had the finances to fund my addiction, I'm sure it would never stop.
