Very true. I mean I feel terrible about it. My whole life people have tried to talk me out of snakes. When I kept RTBs, before I got them people always tried to talk me out of it. Mostly non snake people about how they're not real pets and not a proper pet for a lady etc. I just want to see him make the effort. I feel so uneasy about him getting one because whenever I have my royal out and he's not being a cantankerous butt I offer him to my roommate to hold all the time but he shys away from it. He thinks the snake needs to warm up to him first. I tell him the snake can't do that if he can't smell you and you don't hold him. I can only see him buying an anaconda thinking it's cool and then ignoring it, not feeding it, cleaning up its environment. Too afraid to touch it. I take care of his late wife's dog for the very same reasons. He's emotional distraught and the king of bad decisions. I feel an anaconda right now would be one of them.
