Every snake I've ever met has been super chill, except for the rattlesnake on the hiking trail who was a big scaredy boi that didn't want to play. Fortunately nature gave him a fuckoff noise organ that quickly alerted us to his preference. Snakes are alright.

Snakes will not bite you if you don’t bother or threaten them. A man proved this via an experiment where he locked himself inside a cage with a dozen venomous snakes and chilled in it for a three days.

I had a customer swear up and down that her ball python pair, a female and a male, both tried measuring against her and she had to get them put down by the vet at their recommendation.

Every question I asked had a quick reply. "How can a ball python ever considered you, a human being, a meal? They dont get nearly that big."

"Oh, I was a child!"

"How would they have gotten the chance to 'measure' you?"

"Oh, they both slept in my bed all the time!"

I left the conversation feeling like she would have lied if I asked her what color her own eyes were. Apparently she is known for this behaviour, according to a regular.

Cuddling snakes is just so peaceful and they're very good at it, lol. I'm just constantly afraid of falling asleep and having mine wander off into some corner then have to trash my room at 1am looking for the little stealthy fucker.

I have a Kenyan Sand Boa btw, I suggest them for anyone who might be looking into herpkeeping but afraid of bigger ones. Tiny mouth, silly looking, chubby snake, quite calm and sleepy.

Snakes absolutely do not size up their prey and often die in the wild by consuming something bigger than they can handle. This is an old wive's tale that "the snake sizes the owner up", google it.
