I currently don't have a snake, but if I'm lucky I may be able to get one soon, but this reminded me of the first time I actually realized that people having snakes as pet was a thing. I was like 12 and my uncle called my sister and I outside and there was a group of kids mabye a few years older then us with skateboards, that's all I really noticed about the because my eyes landed on a something that was wrapped around one of the boys neck it was a snake. My sister just stared at it but I was intriged he had a snake and that was like the awesomest thing i had even seen, side note I had seen a snake once before at a camo type thing they had reptiles and stuff I only really remembered the snake from that though 😅, anyways I just thought that it was the coolest thing ever that someone could.have a snake as a pet the kid let me pet the snake and then they left. So I don't actually have a snake so I'm not really one to talk but if I had never encountered that kid who took his snake out in probably wouldn't know that snakes were an option for a pet
