I would never have opened the box, who wants to deal with a pissed off snake that's been in a box for who knows how long eh?
Personally I think snakes should just be left in the woods, I mean does anyone think that snakes like to be pets, taken away from their environment for human amusement? Doubt it. I feel the same for fish, and I still have two left in a 50 gallon tank. I keep them because I do not know anyone that could take them and take good care of them. I like them, have had them for 10 years now, but I bet they would have rather lived their 10 year life back in Lake Malawi in Africa (where they come from).
I dunno, I have I guess split feelings when it comes to certain pets. Is it right, is it wrong to have them? I feel now that it is, yet I still am a guilty party (with my fish). But it's not like I can send my fish back to Africa, so nothing for me to do but continue to take care of them. But then I think, what if one of my two fish died, I'd then feel sorry for the lonely one, and be tempted to get it a friend, I'd tell myself that the fish are already in pet store tanks, no going back, at least I can give it a good home and take good care of it, but then I'm also buying into the whole fish "market" if you will, blah. dunno. *shrug* ?
