"WHY a snake??"

[SnakeCharm]

Because I'm weird.

Perhaps we are "weird" in a sense that we tend to love these solitary animals who hardly show any interest in us, let alone care if we even existed. An unrequited love, perhaps?

Just like my girlfriend.

Reptiles don't bark. They don't shed as often as dogs and cats. They also require less maintance, than your average pet.

So incredibly true. This has got to be one of the easiest pets to keep. Possibly one of the easiest reptiles to keep.

I love the fact that they ask so little... unlike every other creature in my house (boys I love you! But your mother is tired ). All my snakes want is an appropriate enclosure, good temperatures, hydration, and a nice ratsicle (or mousicle in the case of the sand boas) every week or two.

They're just freaking awesome.

I wanted to make it even more difficult to get a girlfriend? haha!

Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed reading this.

I usually tell people that as a scientist I see them as a vestigial remnant of our primordial evolutionary past. Pure, unadulterated predators.

I'm waiting for it to talk.

I actually wrote a blog post on this back in 2012 when we got our first snake... 1, which quickly became 2, when then became 4.

Now we're up to six, and I keep staring at sunglow BCIs...
