I'll share with you why I love them: my ego is completely out of the picture. Snakes have an entirely different physiology and brain structure relative to mammals. Snakes will never care whether I live or die. Snakes will never give me unconditional love and affection. Snakes will never snuggle with me when I've had a bad day or make me feel proud because I have taught them their latest command. For me, Snake is a great teacher. Snake teaches that I can care for and invest in something and it is okay that I will never get anything in return. For me, this is refreshing for my brain and joyful for my heart.
