In the US, 30-50 people are killed each year by dogs, while the average number of people killed by non-venomous snakes each year is near zero. Not saying it doesn't happen, but so long as you're taking adequate precautions like the father in the video, a snake is a very safe animal to keep.

We were part of their lives, we sometimes fed them, brushed them, gave them water… we learned to be responsible for them. I will be always thankful to my parents because I learned so many important lessons so early - it didn’t even feel like learning or doing chores, they taught us to see the joy in caring for another living being (and we both have enjoyed it ever since).

One goofy moment food moment I'll never forget is once I was feeding my garter snakes some toads and as the snake struck the toad jumped out of the way and he bite a leaf instead.

[@justanotherguy7925]

@@unkownshoo1038 first off, I love snakes and other reptiles. I’ve owned large constrictor snakes and they are amazing creatures - so I’m not one of these anti-snake people. I also have a degree in biology and have taken courses specifically in herpetology. I do agree that certain species of snakes are more docile than others. Some snakes with routine handling can become acclimated to human contact and tamed to a degree. But saying a snake is domesticated because it is calm and doesn’t behave aggressively is a big stretch. Unlike cats and dogs, which underwent thousands of years of careful breeding to finally become domesticated, snakes function almost 100% by instinct. That snake in the video is a beautiful specimen, no doubt. It appears to be well taken care of. However, make no mistake, that snake isn’t hanging around that little girl because it thinks it’s a friend and wants to play Barbie dolls - she is a heat source, nothing more. Hopefully she doesn’t become a food source. It could easily kill her, could even do it accidentally. So again, I’d encourage anyone who is responsible to have a snake if they want one. But it is more of one of those pets that you observe as opposed to having a 2 way interaction like a dog or cat or even a hamster.

@@unkownshoo1038 if you released that snake into the Florida Everglades it would do just fine. It is not trained. It would do fine because it functions on instinct. It’s coloration would not help it because that is not natural (lack of camo), but a 16 footer won’t come across too many predators that can take it out. What do you think it is trained to do? It’s not going to fetch your slippers. They are amazing but aren’t too bright. If you want a reptile that does give feedback and you can train to a degree, try a bearded dragon.

You have to take precautions and provide supervision as with any animal but like he mentions, the snake doesn’t bite or hurt us, the cats do though.

Nothing incredible about it once you realise that snakes are pretty straightforward creatures; they bite for only two reasons, for food or for defense. Now, Cher isn't going to bite Emi for food as she is far too big to be a prey item (plus Cher is well fed and looked after and unlikely to be hungry) and Cher also isn't going to bite out of defense as Emi is not doing anything to frighten her. Ergo, she doesn't bite..

[@dwikiraz]

@@chooseyourpoison5105 Emi is at the right size to be eaten by a phyton that big, maybe you never see a phyton eat human, because i have seen with my own eyes, an old lady eaten while she washing clothes near a river .. but like you said, Cher is a captive breed snake so maybe she lost some of its wild instinct, and Cher raised with Emi since cher is little so already have a familial bond, and the father know well how to keep a snake as a pet ..
