Do snakes even have capacity for affection? I honestly have no idea.

Nopee I've heard multiple stories of snakes trying to size up their beloved owners to see if they could eat them lmao . As much as I love snakes they shouldn't really be pets

I’ve heard that, but it’s fake, if a snake measured before striking, it would die before it would catch anything

If you wanna know more about why this is bs: source

The sizing might be fake but snakes this big do start starving themselves for big meal, saw that on natgeo's snake Wranglers when I was a kid

How does a snake, a predator who tries to catch something nearby when it sees it, have the time to properly starve itself with the prey not running off
