The kind of pets we love most suit who we are as an individual, while I like dogs and cats and other more "normal" pets they arent ideally suited to what I look for and enjoy most about having pets.
Reptiles are in my eyes the best kind of pets
but Snakes especially.
Snakes are low maintainance but at the same time have the perfect balance of interactivity, you feed them every 7 days (or slightly less) spot clean them when they do make a bit of mess (if less goes in one end less is coming out of the other
) If you dont have time to handle them that day ( or for a whole week!) they dont get upset and whine or scratch incessantly, they just carry on going about their business and are happy regardless, but they're just as happy to be handled anyway, my corn snake is just as relaxed about me leaving him alone other than feeding and watering for two weeks as he is with me handling him every day (except for 48 hours after feeding)
What more could I want?!
