My corn snake has never bitten me, or anyone else besides her owner. She loves people and she was very tame. Theya re not wild and they are not mean. They are calm and gentle.
My five foot, five inch corn snake is the most gentle, docile creature I have ever met. She has never bitten me when she was hungry, and hasn't even bitten my baby cousin when my cousin pulled on her tail. Every snake I have ever known has been completely gentle. I guess it depends on the snakes personality. Sure there are risks to having a snake, but as long as you don't have like a venomous snake or something (and some can even have their venom glands removed) they make amazing pets.
Wow.
That was soo informative, that i thought i should maybe get rid of my wild, and dangerous snake... that doesnt have a cage. And all this time i thought i was being a bad---.
I like the fact that you listed the "good" snakes and the "bad" snakes to have as pets. But I think the information could have been presented in a more sophisticated way.
I love snakes too! They are so cute and really interesting! But when I was reading this article I felt like you were mad at me instead of just informing me about snakes. Not to be mean but you sounded a bit rude, and this article lacked information...
I love snakes :D I go to this reptile day thing every year at my local pet shop and one of the workers there breeds reptiles. He has all kinds of snakes. xD My friend took a picture of me holding one and the snake saw the camera and was like "Ohay whassis thing? -licks lens-"
I love them D: I love reptiles :D
I do have to agree with Everybody's Fool, though. This could have had more care info and stuff.
I would like to correct a point I saw in the first paragraph of your article. There is no such thing as a "poisonous" snake. Yes, there are venomous snakes, but poison and venom are not the same thing. Venomous means that it is something that is injected, poisonous is not. Snakes only inject. There is no snake that can hurt you chemically without injection.
All in all, this wasn't a great article. It ended rather suddenly, and it needed a bit more information. Do a little bit more research next time, and I'm sure it'll turn out better. Maybe you should have added something about how snakes need to be kept warm, sometimes very hot, to be healthy, and maybe a bit about the care of snakes.
I'm sorry to say this, but this wasn't that great of an article. You could've added much more details than you have. Researching helps tons if you're into writing articles. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but you have to try harder. :)
Whoa. I was actually jsut thinking about getting a snake! My mom said no way though... and then she saw the thing about the toddler getting kileld by the snake... And I have an almost two year old brother... So it was kind of an out of the question thing....
There was a story on the news the other a night about a pet snake that killed a toddler.
and there was another one...
wait. I have way too many horror stories about pet snakes turning against their ''owners.''
