What are pet snakes like! Tell me about yours!!!!?

Question

I'm not interested in getting one....just curious! Like, I picked up a Corn Snake once and it tried to bite me(i'm clueless when it comes to holding snakes). Also, the snake smelled SO bad. Do pet snakes smell like that?

Just tell me about your pet snakes!!!!!!

Thanks.

Answer 1

Wow who's snake did you pick up because it's those snakes that give our kinds of snakes a bad name. My brother has a ball python. It is the MOST DOCILE snake you will ever see. You would never believe it is a carnivore! His snake is a scaley puppy. It follows him and it loves to be held. Despite their reputation, they are marvelous creatures. One time i saw it snap at him but that was a long time ago when he first bought it. Also he irritated it a little.

His ball python, Monty, would never hurt a mou... Well, snakes need to eat, but he would never harm anyone. His snake smelled bad once too but that's because he took a huge p**p!

Snakes don't smell as long as you keep thier cage clean. The snake may bite you, so you have to hold them everyday. They can be fun to watch. You have to be willing to feed them mice, sometimes live if you have a snake that's a picky eater. You have to get and aquarium with a good locking lid, 2 hides, 2 thermometers, a humidity gauge, a water bowl and bedding. Snakes are cool pets, but make sure you do your research first.

And for holding snakes, just be gentle, and don't let it get loose from you.

If you get a snake, I suggest a california kingsnake, they are very hardy and will eat very easily. Ball pythons are very docile but they are very picky eaters, so I wouldn't get one as your first snake.

No, they don't smell unless they are being improperly kept.  They are smooth and glossy, and basically odorless.  Their f***s has odor, though.  Again...

Hmmm what can I tell you?  I guess what entered my mind as I read this:

"They are interesting creatures with a unique skin.  They have no legs, and are amazingly powerful for something which has no arms.  Once they grab and hug you?  It's like a hug you've never had before."

Basically, besides all that, they slither, eliminate, constrict, and eat (unless venomous, then they bite, and track, and eat), and then they sleep till it needs doing again.

The end.

I hope this has been helpful.

***ADD PS, they are endearing creatures, as they drape about your neck whilst you vacuum, or talk a stroll in the neighborhood and terrorize neighbors and dogs.  So, if you're a bit antisocial?  I highly recommend them.
