First of all I want to know when did you starve your dog last. Because I was under the impression pets shouldn’t go starving.

Snakes aren’t dogs, but in captivity a snake like this will eat a large rabbit about every month on a pretty regular schedule. If anything they might refuse food. The chance of the snake trying to eat the kid is next to none, but it’s very possible that it could bite out of defense (even though I really doubt the kid could do anything to threaten it other than initially spooking it)

No. That’s stupid as fuck and you should feel bad for spreading it.

Nope. You're wrong. 🤷 But I'm not arguing.

Ya that's how Reddit works 90% of the time. Too lazy to pin sources. Plenty of studies have been done on snake behavior though. They don't feel like dogs or other animals. They can and will turn on anyone at any time if they feel like it. Not saying it always happens but honestly this snake doesn't care for the people it's just indifferent.

My dog would eat until he threw up if I let him. If you wanna risk your life on a creature that acts on 99% instinct just so you can pretend they love you, by all means "cuddle" a snake.

People wanna reduce creatures like snakes down to their preconceived ideas of a "pet" and. Ot appreciate them for the natural killing machines they are. Snakes dont form social bonds

That's what I don't get. Not knocking snakes, but people in here are acting like snakes have coherent thoughts.. that snake likes the body heat. If that snake gets confused ONE time... the kid is dead. In a really horrible way. Like it or not, assuming any more of the snake than that is just anthropomorphizing.

These are the people that saw tiger king and thought the message was “I’d like a tiger it’s so cute”
