I want a pet snake that wont bite and is nice and friendly

I agree with corran, Escape artists indeed, I have 5 month old Milksnake, and 'he' pushed the sliding doors open and escaped. As now i have made it alot harder to open, he will not get out. Owning a snake is a huge responsibilite, Trust me. Not so much mucking out, but general health, Its alot easier to see something up with say a dog then a snake. Best of luck. I was going to purchase a corn snake, but then there was a milk snake, the colors are amazing and that is what attracted me to buy the little **** xP

P.s. Not beaten me Yet

I dont want to make an issue of this, and you are of course entitled to believe what you like, but it is not BS. People tend to anthropomorphize. In other words they see behaviors in animals that resemble human behaviors, and they ascribe to that animal human-like motives for the behavior. Snakes have tiny little brains and act in very instinctive and predictable ways. They dont like being held any more than your plants do. They dont recognize you from anyone else. They are (for the most part) not social animals, and dont experience social emotions. Most snakes dont even behave socially with their own kind, never mind with humans.

Anyway, like I said, you are entitled to believe what you want, but if you are going to call my position "BS", I'm going to defend it.
