I actually completely agree with user above. Almost everyone has a pet dog or cat, however few people have a truly unique and unusual pet - a snake. Many people do not want to get this reptile because of many different reasons, such as fear, as snakes have long since instilled terror in people, the complexity of caring for a snake and much more. However, I recently read the article "Snakes as Pets: Weighing the pros and cons" and as it turns out, having a snake as a pet is not difficult at all. So, if you've been wanting a pet snake for a long time, now is the time!
