No, this was not intended to get people fired up. I didn't expect it to at all. It's a simple question. I'm not oblivious to how to keep or care for my snakes, thank you. I know how big each gets and that they are completely different. I know snakes do not require a companion, as well. I think the rude comments are unnecessary. I didn't appreciate the comment of how my snake "doesn't get along with others", either. You don't know my snake and don't know what she does or anything about her. Sure, she's still a snake, but all are different in some way or another. I simply didn't know if they would get a long because some species do and some don't.
