Reptiles cannot be pets. They have no feelings or emotions. You cannot train them. They react on instinct only. Hopefully these people will be prosecuted and the children removed from the home. The only people that I have ever seen with snakes as pets are the same people that have useless pit bulls as pets. The sad thing is that they almost always have children.

I never understand how anyone can be attracted to a snake, or a lizard. Yech!

I'll bet more "pets" have killed children in America than guns! I'm calling PETA to pitch a BITCH!

No, I said pets or animals in general. I'd be very interested in knowing. Thrown from a horse, smothered by a cat, mauled by a dog, etc....

I read a few years back about a family snake suffocating one of the kids. Wrapped itself around the child's chest and squeezed till she was dead. The mom found the girl like that. The whole family used to let the snake wrap itself around them and it never squeezed like that before. Sad and scary. I love snakes, but I wouldn't let one wrap itself around me, they are too unpredictable, even if you think you know it well.
