Do snakes make good pets? Why or why not?
What are some potential downsides to owning a snake as a pet?
A potential downside to owning a snake as a pet is that they can be dangerous if not handled properly, as they may bite or constrict their owner. Additionally, they are not as interactive or affectionate as other pets such as cats or dogs, and their diet consists solely of live or thawed rodents, which some people may find unpleasant. Finally, some snakes can grow quite large and may require a larger enclosure or even outgrow their owner's home entirely.
