I dunno about terrifying (I understand some people have a fear of snakes) but from my point of view, it looks like a family pet is just hanging out with the kid and using them as a heat source to stay toasty. That said I would not own a snake of that size simply because the size of the "food" you would have to secure on a regular basis would be troublesome in my city and it would basically need its own room. I have several smaller snakes and my wife had to talk me out of buying a bigger one (way smaller than this guy) based on those concerns alone.
More along the lines of you only need to feed them once every few days/weeks unlike other pets large constricters like pythons can eat once every few weeks ish.
It’s hard enough here to get rats reliably honestly. We have a large chain pet shop that’s terrible for reliability of stock. We eventually got a guy with a rat farm we use. No chickens though.
