Does A Snake Make A Good Pet?
Yes, it is nice to have an exotic pet. There are many exotic creatures that make great pets, but should you opt for a snake?
Many snakes are very beautiful to look at, but that does not mean that they make great pets. A snake is not cuddly like a dog. One of the problems is that snakes often like to keep themselves to themselves. Yes, your snake may come and sit with you and that is great. But, you should ask yourself why your snake is coming to sit with you. Is it doing so just because you are warm?
As you probably know, snakes are cold-blooded creatures. To stay active they need to keep themselves warm. That is perhaps the main reason your snake likes to cuddle up with you or crawl down your t-shirt.
Are snakes expensive pets? On the surface of it, you may think a snake is a cheap pet to look after. The problem is that they need a specialist set up. They need to have the right combination of warmth and humidity to stay healthy. Not only that, but you are also looking at specialist food. How would you feel about feeding your snake friend a live mouse? Feeding and eating habits must be considered before you bring home a snake.
Can you bring home a wild snake? Yes, there are those who say that grass snakes make great pets. But, when you want to bring a wild snake home, you really need to know what you are doing. Most importantly, you need to know if the snake that you are thinking about bringing home is poisonous.
Before you decide that a pet snake is a right choice for you, it is important that you do your research. Speak to other snake owners and read about keeping snakes. There is a lot to learn!
