As the new morphs come out, I feel some of the bigger breeders are trying to downplay what it's like owning one of these giants. The word 'dwarf' implies something that they are not. A full grown SD is still a BEAST of an animal, even compared to a full grown boa. If you 'slow grow' or 'maintenance feed' a male I suspect based on no experience that it will be hungry all the time and try to eat your face. I think hook training is key. There are a number of safety precautions that probably make it easier - but a lot of times when I see videos or hear people speak about the truth of keeping them, they're pretty wild.

When I have the space and funds for a huge reptile, I'm getting a tegu or monitor. They're smart, diurnal, and fun to watch inside their enclosure. After a certain size, huge snakes can't really come out and 'hang out' so then you're just feeding it and watching it sleep.
