Very true. Sorry about that, I got a bit carried away on that tangent.
And great idea sensei! If more people posted about their snakes in a way that non-snake keepers could understand (as opposed to feeding pictures and such) then they may begin to understand WHY someone would want to keep a snake. This is something I have found very difficult to explain to people. Some people just flat out don't get why anyone would want to keep a scaly pet.
I try to explain that just because you don't really pet the snakes per se and they don't have fur doesn't disqualify them from being a pet. I mean why does anyone keep fish, frogs, lizards, turtles, or practically anything else without fur. They're fun to watch, fun to hold, and many can be quite beautiful just to look at if nothing else.
