Title says it all
Like, do snakes even know youre their friend? From the people ive seen, they are still trying to kill you and wrap themselves around your neck, so why do people still keep them and talk to them as pets?
My guinea pig still sometimes runs away from me, but she at least likes me and and my voice and just stops eating if I dont speak to her every day to the point that I needed to force feed her nutrient slop, she lets me cuddle her, etc
And snakes are just like: I will kill you the second I see you
I had a Ball python and I’m pretty sure he recognized my scent. He’d perk up when I’d get near his enclosure.
He was about five feet long and he’d just wrap around one of my arms and I’d go around the house and do some chores (moving laundry, putting dishes away) one handed.
He was easy to maintain and some folks would ask to come over when I was going to feed him. (Thawed dead rats/mice, no live food.)
