Thinking of getting a snake. - General

Hello facepunchers! Lately, I've been considering buying a snake for a new pet. I'm kind of neutral on snakes, not scared, but not too fond of them, either. I think they are really interesting and am thinking about buying one from a local, reputable, store. I want to know if you have any experiences with snakes. I don't want a big snake, just one no larger than 2 feet long full length, nothing poisonous or dangerous, and somewhat low maintenance.

They're not friendly and the motherfuckers molt everywhere. Get a cat.

Snakes are NOT low maintenance not even close If you want a low maintenance pet get a tabby or something

Snakes are horrible, none of them are "low maintenance". Get a gerbal. fuck ninja'd

They smell bad and the motherfuckers will kill you in your sleep. Get a puppy.

Get a small snake, train it to move rhythmically up and down a pole, and then have it give you a handjob. I dunno if it'd work, but hey... Free handjob!

I've always wanted a corn snake, My mom had one when she was little but alas, I don't think I'll be getting one soon.

I had a snake. His name was Gordon. He was really mean. He bit me a lot. I tried to be nice... but our :love: couldn't last. (Ball python)

Their just like little furry people, with their own personalities, laziness, loving, forgiving, helping, NOT-Helping, and just being overall fun!

I have a rat snake my friend gave me, pretty low maintenance if you ask me. A few rules: You only have to feed it once every couple of weeks DO NOT pick it up after feeding, the snake will lose it's monthly lunch If you act scared of the snake, it will bite you, but with rat snakes you don't feel anything Basically it.

Three: Laziness, Not helping? That sounds sorta like me, the rest is bulshit. :smile:

I only know 1 snake that isnt harmful to humans at all, but eats rats. Cant remember the name though.

Shove it up your butt.

Corn snakes are pretty low maintenance, mine were rather friendly, and don't get too big. They are really good at escaping though, so make sure your cage is securely sealed when you are not watching them.

why you can interact with cats and dogs all the snake is gonna do is crawl everywhere

And BTW, isn't Stephen the crazyass furfag from the Movie Idea thread? Furries SHOULD NOT HAVE PETS. No brainer.

I agree with the people saying get a corn snake. My neighbors have one and it's pretty cool. also, they're adorable: [img]http://www.freewebs.com/2ks-rescue/corn%20snake%2001.jpg[/img]

I refer you to this sunbitch: [url]http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/profile.php?id=100000095802350&ref=sgm[/url] He thinks he is a snake. Really. THIS MAN IS A FREAK.

If you're not too fond of them, get a kitten. they're adorable.

how is a kitten an alternative to snakes I'd understand someone recommending a lizard or something like that, but I don't know how cats are really relevant to someone interested in reptiles

I already have a snake... ... in my pants :smug: ... I'm referring to my penis, by the way.

Why are furries getting all the hate...

[QUOTE=sltungle;22118494]I already have a snake... ... in my pants :smug: Thanks, I didn't realize that's what you were referring to. I was actually concerned that you had a cold-blooded reptile in your pants. I'm glad you're okay. ... I'm referring to my penis, by the way.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Vollybomb;22118614]Why are furries getting all the hate...[/QUOTE] Your avatar fits your post. To answer your question, its because they hump everything. EVERYTHING.

They hump and hump and hump, and we fire our guns at them. End of story. One last edit: And if yer gonna turn that into a movie, I recommend "Furocaust: The Furfag Massacre" as a title.

Anyway, I've always thought about getting a snake myself. But I don't expect them to be friendly not low-maintenance, just awesome. I'd probably go for a corn snake Why don't you go to the store and ask how much of your effort it will take? If a store sells snakes they're bound to know shit about them.
