Snakes are something I have always had a fear of. I found out just last year that one of my neighbours a few doors down has a pet snake, they keep it secure in their home in a tank and will only take it out when needed so that is not a big issue for anyone. I couldn't keep a pet snake myself.

Would you keep a snake as a pet?

I agree with Indiana Jones on this one.

I wouldn't buy a snake myself, but if a friend wanted me to watch theirs for a few days or a while I would.

I had a pet snake for nearly 20 years. I got her as a hatchling and kept her until she developed a heart condition common to snakes and the vet said the best thing to do was to put her out of her misery. Because of the way snake anatomy is laid out in a long line an enlarged heart prevents a snake from eating. It still gets hungry so it tries to eat, but the prey can't get past the enlarged heart and so it has to regurgitate the food.
