I have not been on here in a while, but I now remember why…most of the communication that occurs here is MORONIC!



Most of the stupid arguments are over definitions of words….like “pet”, for example... Merriam-Webster’s Online #2 definition of pet is….and I cut and Paste:” a domesticated animal kept for pleasure rather than utility”. I think that about says it all Chad…What utility have you gotten out of your venomous snakes lately? Careful…say money and you will be excluding those who truly keep venomous snakes just for the sake of keeping them. There’s a beauty in venomous snakes…and there’s a beauty in keeping them. With that appreciation comes respect. With that respect comes other human emotions which result in attachment. Attachment like we develop with a friend, a dog, a cat, a reptile. I’m not saying that reptiles are on the same evolutionary scale as mammals, I’m just saying that every snake I’ve dealt with over time is unique…whether we develop it in our own minds or not, they each have different personalities. Personalities we may mistakenly take for consistent…but personalities we become accustomed to none the less…And if you have not experienced this then you are only a buyer and seller of goods…not a snake lover.
