Why are so many people opposed to keeping wild snakes as pets?

That is true! Hmm I'm going to change my opinion: i think if you want the animal and you do believe you can give it a better home: example; a turtle that's injured then it would be a rescue And give it a better home with food and safety. But taking a thriving animal like a savannah monitor and putting it in the pet trade or making a belt out of it that is not right. If the monitor was injured and you can give it a better home untill it's all healed up well go for it, but shipping it across the ocean is going to make the health a lot worse
