Or is it insecurity? They do not have confidence so they copy and are afraid to do anything that is perceived different. As Gregg stated many times, hognose are easy to keep and breed, anyone can do it. It is easy, to easy, way to easy.
Again, I may be so so wrong. I "thought" we kept snakes because we liked them, and or to enjoy them. Or have fun with them. Or to gain from doing well with them. In these cases, to enjoy what they produce. To enjoy can be monetary. That's fine.
To keep is to take from. That is, we take from our charges. So wouldn't be only human to give to, as well as take from? Whether its fun, enjoyment, money, educational, etc, its to take. Why not give back.
So I will end with, why not give back??? something, anything? it does not have to be all, do the respectful and offer something to the animals we keep, and nesting is a great start. Respect is in question. Do you respect your animals?
p.s. I was in the field yesterday, and its hard to see just how much we humans take away from the things we love
