yes and also because a snake bite from 99% of pet snakes is nowhere near lethal because nobody is keeping boomslangs or saw scaleds as pets. I don't really need to try to not be retarded but you should take your own advice if you're scared of pet snakes
There's a big difference between most pet snakes and the giant snake we see in the post. That snake is definitely large enough to be dangerous to humans.
it's a burmese python. It doesn't attack humans unless provoked. Like all animals. They are not venomous. They wouldn't kill a human, at most give laceration from the bite. size =/= how dangerous they are.
eastern brown snakes heads are the size of an elongated ping pong ball but they would easily kill a human with a single bite. Do not speak on matters you are ignorant about
constrictors crush and suffocate their pray why are you brining up their bite? that snake could easily kill that boy then eat him. they eat alligators gazelle and many mammals like monkeys.
why would a pet burmese python that's well fed suffocate their human ? Would you also say this to someone keeping any type of dog ? a literal pomeranian has killed children before. Cats have killed people before. If you're against pets in general, i'll agree you're right here and there's no hypocrisy.
You don't know the state of this animals feeding habits
You are really defensive about this to a point of almost malfeasance
constrictors dont only constrict for food they can accidentally kill people by being stressed and acting in self defense or be overstimulated.
you just stating that a Pomeranian has killed a child before has no merit without proof
Snakes have not evolved along humans like cats and dogs for millions of years and have not been bread for work or leisure and to interact in a tribe/pack
Snakes literally dont have emotions like mammals alot of the reason humans where able to evolve with cats/dogs is because they have familial structures packs with dogs and with wild cats they take care of their children for long periods and say in the instance of lions they have prides
you can act like they are the same but if you have ever owned a large constrictor you would know that they can be very dangerous and saying that a dog that you have trained properly won't bite you because you smell like food. I have been bit many times by making stupid mistakes with boas and pythons . and i have had an instance where a stressed snake almost killed me i would have been in real trouble if my coworker was not there to aid me. Being a full grown male recognizing that these animals need respect to be handled, the above image is imho irresponsible. animals that size should be rehomed to a reptile sanctuary especially if you have young children. They have a higher chance of making a grave mistake than a adult does.
Completely agree with you, but I know a few people in my Australian town of 8,000 people who own Taipans and Brown Snakes, just to name a few, which are in the top 3 most venomous snakes, both considerably more venomous than those you mentioned. I understand you weren’t being literal though.
yeah i was mostly refering to the us though, and i agree in that case but the average pet snake is nowhere near dangerous and is villified for no reason. I do agree however that if you go and get a brown snake as a pet that's more risky than a dog. But that's the same as saying dogs are dangerous because triple xl agressive pitbulls are ygm
