PuffAdder... I like it.

Then later I could change my name to P Iddy.

Then just Iddy, because "the P is getting between me and my fans."

I used to work in a pet store, and from my experience there's two types of people who own snakes (plural).
1 - 14 year old boys.
2 - The male version of the crazy cat lady. Only with snakes instead of cats.

I like reptiles because you don't have to pick up poop everyday or feed most of them for weeks.

Stupid people own stupid animals. The snake might be able to distinguish between an owner and a stranger but it really doesn't give a damn who it is as long as it's fed and the cage is clean. It will put up with the human but would just as soon be left alone.

I have a neighbor,who isn't that smart to begin with,that thought bringing his giant python to my apt would be awesome. My mom opened the door and then slammed it back shut because holy shiat suddenly there was this giant snake in her face. These people with the snake have a 2yo,who tortures my cats when he is at my apt,and a five year old. I can easily see the 2yo getting squished for wanting to play with the snake like he does Snowball. Plus smokey was losing her damn mind and it didn't even come in the house. It's like she knew there was a huge predator at the door.

i've wondered about that for a while. Yeah, snakes are cool and all, but they are not farking pets;.

Cats or dogs? Yeah, they both form bonds with their human masters. You can tell that your cat or dog loves you and if you can't you're defective (maybe your cat or dog really doesn't love you and that's a bad sign).

But farking snakes? No, there is no human-reptile bond there. Your snake wants a rat. Your lizard wants another cricket. Your snake does not understand you. No matter how used to it you get there is always the distinct possibility that it will feel threatened and strike and inject a good dose of venom in your ass (or face).

This may just be an internet legend but years ago I read a story that went something like this. A snake enthusiast with a lot of snakes got bit by - either a cobra or a rattlesnake. He shook it off and went to the bar and was bragging about it to others. Think "Hey, I got bit by a cobra before I came here". He had 3 drinks and keeled over and died.

No, snakes are NOT your friend. Dogs and cats are - if you treat them decently anyway.

Also, fish are not your friends either. They can look cool in an aquarium. I get that.

If you REALLY want to be a bad ass, get some ants and don't confine them to an "ant farm". Get the fiercest ants you can find. Siafu would be one choice. These things are not cute and cuddly and while not as venomous as cobras they make up for that in numbers. Go ahead get 10 million of them - they're small and work well with other s (of their own kind).

Venomous snakes, maybe. I have a 17-foot Burmese python, and he's as personable as any warm-blooded critter. Might not be as active, and you've not gonna be able to play fetch with him, but that doesn't mean he's a blank slab of rock. He knows who I and my most regular visitors are and trusts us, we can handle and fawn over him without any worry. He's tense around strangers, though he's never bit anyone, he just retreats or curls up away from the newcomer. When I let him out of his room (he has an entire bedroom to himself, with several large branches to climb on, an upside-down box to hide in, and a small kiddy pool for water and to lay in), he'll often track me down and wrap me up for however long I let him.

Mammals aren't the only animals with personalities. Even fish can be goofy, mean, mopey, timid, assertive.

Red spitting cobras are just misunderstood by idiots like you people. It's all in how they have been raised. Even garter snakes will kill people if they have been raised wrong. The media just never reports on all the times some mistreated 4 inch green snake horribly mauls a child, because it doesn't generate the clicks.

But noooooooo, all it takes is one bad breeder who abuses his red spitting cobras. Brings em up wrong. Then all you hear about is how spitting cobras are neurotoxic and cytotoxic and all kinds of RACIST bullshiat. How one little nick on the finger leaves people neurologically disfigured for life. Big farking deal.

My red is the most gentle loving pet you can imagine. And he's good with children. The neighborhood kids come over and Red is so patient even when they pull his tail or other rough horseplay. He wouldn't hurt a fly. He is so cute when he jumps up on the bed with me at night.
