For me, they are like..I guess I can say for therapy? They help me be happy. And as i said in another thread not too long ago, my second BP was an unwanted one(son went off to collage and the parents didn't want to take care of him anymore.) So how could I pass that up? They also live longer than a lot of other pets, if you care for them right that is, and low maintenance as you said. I also like seeing the differences in each one, and most of mine are rescues, and I like to see how they transform over the time of being taken care of properly(although I hate seeing 'em in such bad shape). I still look at my first BP and think, 'wow.. she's four times the size from when I got her!', etc.
