I have a quite fascination / appreciation with snakes. I used to catch them and try to keep them for pets when I was much younger. Many, many years ago . Mom was NOT happy one time when she found out I had one in a box on top of the TV in the living room. That one was maybe a 12-14 inch Garter snake I think. It was a LOOOOOOONG time ago
I even got put off the school bus one time because I had one I found at school. I had to walk almost 2 miles home that day.

I stumbled on to this guys videos and WOW, Not sure if I could handle one this big or not in comfort.

Austin Stevens from Namibia is another good one to watch. No way could I get that close to those like he does.

That is a scary big albino python. Scary big.

I have a standing rule. I don't need a pet I cannot control in a worst case scenario. I don't think anyone should have one but that is my opinion.

A snake that size isn't a pet but he is a professional and as long as he does his due diligence to protect people and himself I don't have a problem with it.

Billy Bob keeping a 20 foot anaconda in a plastic tub in his 5 year-olds bedroom needs to be jailed. That scenario is the typical situation where an animal kills a person. Amatures who get stuff they can not control but think they are in control.

Cool snake. Beautiful snake...

Ever notice that the guys who think owning a snake is cool are the same type that need a pitbull or rotweiler to protect their trailer park home!

Yeah and when that guy can't afford/handle the snake anymore or gets bored with taking care of it and the "shock" value wears off they just release the animal into the wild. Or the idiot lets the snake escape. That's the reason in parts of the country native wildlife is getting wiped out by invasive non-native species.

I (we) have three snakes: 2 corn snakes and a western hognose
I (we) have a 7-yo female Weimaraner
I (we) sure as He11 don't live in a trailer park
