Yup, this right here. Just because snakes don't have or show emotion doesn't mean I'm going put a dog or a cat above them. They are all equal in my mind, and they are a part of my family in that they are my responsibility and I care for them. I'm not going to put my snakes above my immediate family, but I'm also going to do as much as I possibly can for them.
