Can you tell I'm not a herp-lover? I know people who hava a wide variety of them, from garter snakes to fvcking cobras...(which IMO, should be illegal to own)...no use for snakes...just rodent controllers...not "warm & fuzzy" pets...
I dont know why someone would want a venemous one unless they were just head over heels about snakes like some dog/cat owners...i dont see myself ever owning something THAT deadly...i think people have a right to own whatever pet they want (assuming they can take proper care of it), but if my neighbors venemous snake were to escape i would be scared shitless...
to say there is no use is all in the eye of the beholder. there isnt much use for a dog other than to eat and ******...some dogs do a lot more but for the majority, dogs just sit on ass all day. cats are even stupider...they are almost impossible to train and most cats dont even like their owners

...since the love between an animal and human is created by the human only...you cant say that someone cant get warm and fuzzy about their pet snake....some love to crawl around your body, give you snake kisses, etc. people are just afraid of snakes because of media/movies...a ball python is probably the best pet ever...easy to maintain...no vet. is really ever needed...they dont ****** all over the house (unless you let them roam free) etc.
dont get me wrong...i LOVE most all animals...i have a dog ive spent plenty of money on...i'm not saying snakes are the best creature to ever walk...err slither...the earth...but they really are a good pet for those who want something low-low maintenance
