For me, (and I'm going to have to agree with the first person to reply), one of the reasons is that it's amazing to gain the trust of an animal that does not normally trust humans. Aside from that, they are are a pleasure to hold (they like to cuddle with your arm! haha), and are interesting to look at, as they come in a variety of morphs/colors.
Another reason: Hypoallergenic. There are many people who cannot have pets due to severe allergies. Snakes, as well as other reptiles, allow these people to be able to enjoy having a pet.
I, personally, do not have a ton of experience owning snakes as pets, (only the past few years), but I have always loved snakes.
Not only am I a "snake mommy", but I have also started my daughter into the snake keepers world, giving her a Ball Python for her 7th birthday last year. She LOVES him!
There is no way to make somebody understand WHY we have snakes as pets. Especially if you do not share the same enthusiasm as we do.
I have a question for you, now...
Have you ever had any experiences with snakes? Caught them when you were younger? Held one?
