To be honest,I never understood why people would chose to have snakes as pets,it always saddens me when I see a beautiful snake living in a smallish glass-cage.
Snakes to me,belong in the wild,unless you are an expert at caring for snakes,know how to cater to their every need..even so,I don't think it's right.
LaurenD,judging by your questions,I think this is more of a whim,an idea for you and not a good one,sorry
