Reasons snakes make great pets

[tttaylorrr]

For people who's minds always go a mile a minute (me), Snakes can be therapeutic.

When you watch them slithering slowly (depending on species of course), investigating things, watch and feel their movements, its almost hypnotizing.
It makes your mind slow down, focus. Your mind goes empty of worries, sadness or whatever is going on, and you just live in the moment of watching this gorgeous creature move about.

this is why i fell in love with snakes and also why i think they make great pets for people and kids (of a certain age) as well.

their maintenance is SO simple once you truly understand their needs.

the BEST reason imo: the way you interact with them is unlike any other pet; you just let them do their thing. you stay poised and focus on them entirely; i think this is such a unique experience, especially for someone like me who suffers from anxiety+depression.

i think kids (of a responsible age) benefit GREATLY from the interaction snakes provide: slow, calm and focused. i do not have kids, but i feel i'm not very far off with my thinking.

snakes are perfect for those people who feel overwhelmed in their daily life: where a dog or cat might be too much and they feel they can't provide for them, but they want the responsibility and interactivity a pet provides. this was actually my thinking when i decided to look into having a snake.
