i voted no.

how many people sit around and cuddle their snakes, kiss them, caress them and talk to them? LOTS!

It is crazy...and no wonder we see on the nightly news, "Burmese python attacks owner..." and all it takes is one bite from that snake that knows you oh so well.

People do not understand the nature of the beast, they want the beast to be what their perception of how the beast should act, not how it is in reality. That is where the line is blurred. And this is a HUGE lack of respect towards the animal.

Bottom line, does your snake know you? I say no, but who can honestly say, it is all speculation, but i garuntee you, if you died tomorrow, and as long as your snake was taken care of properly for the rest of its life, it would not give a second though about you or care that you were gone.

and YES i do have bad grammar and create crazy long sentences.
