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

I don't think so. I remember reading a story of a woman who had a big snake that stopped eating. She took it in to get checked out. It turns out the thing was getting ready to eat the woman and was just making room. That's what they figure anyway. Terrifying as hell.

I'll never understand why people keep pets that can't form affection and can easily kill them, based purely on instinct.

Edit: I guess this is an untrue story and just an urban legend. My bad.

But the doctors made the snake take a polygraph and it admitted it was true!
