Have you kept snakes before?

Snakes are very interesting pets. They drink water by buccal pumping with their cheeks. They swallow food whole. They can get short or become long noodles. So, have you kept a snake or snakes before or still own them?

I have a corn snake who we have had for 6 months exactly today! Her name is Bella. I love how they drink, it's so cute!

Kept a few. Mexican Milk snake, various Corn Snakes, and a wild Gopher Snake (many many years ago, found it in our truck). The milk snake was the prettiest, but my favorites are the natural colored corn snakes. At the time I kept them I also had to raise the mice to feed them, no frozen mice like now. I didn't enjoy raising mice to feed to the snakes, so I sold them all. The captive breed ones were all very easy to handle, but I was bitten a number of times by the gopher snake.

Yes. I have owned kept and/or bred hundreds of snakes over the past fifty or so years.

I had a garter snake long time ago. After I messed up and killed it I never tried again. It was a neat little snake though.

Same here but just as a kid.
