To be honest, I much prefer snakes that I can interact with. Not only that, but health care & routine maintenance are much harder with hots. I got into rattlesnakes
"accidentally"...it wasn't something I had been wanting at all but a snake that needed a new home. I don't like rattlesnakes because they are venomous (as I suspect
that many do) but in spite of it. All snakes are beautiful & worth respect, & I wish there wasn't such a mystique created by the fact that some are dangerous & illegal
that makes them seem so desirable...like "forbidden fruit".
I don't really know you & it's not for me to say what you should or shouldn't do, I only hope you do lots of research first and realize the many ways that keeping such
hots can impact other aspects of your life, & not always in ways that you want. (things like places to live & friends)
