There is a reason why it is called a reptile.
There is also a reason why other fellow animals avoid it like a plague even though it's non venomous.
There is also a reason why the devil chose to use this particular creature and even has it as a nickname.
Why can't you guys just get a normal pet for God's sake? Must u have a pet?

Vagina people always playing with snake, we neva talk about garden of Eden finish and how snake deceived Eve, na him you wan do season 2 of garden of Eden.....

There's nothing devilish about the snake. It's just like every other animal. And indeed it's one of the most friendly creature.

The Adam and Eve story in your bible is an allegory not a real event. The snake represent an advocate for new knowledge not evil. However, White people misunderstood the story and used it to blackmail black people as evil. And that's the origin of our problem as a people. If you're a black, the bible was written to blackmail you and you don't know!!

The character called Satan is the first and only real savior and was represented as black. Christ is white man's version of same thing but theirs is fake.

Came home yesterday and saw this on my doorstep. I researched and found it's non venomous. I wish to keep it as a pet.
Any advice?

Awww...
It's the majestic and awesome good guy. A member of the diversified Kingsnakes. Quite fearless 100% non-venomous snakes that are highly efficient at eating highly venomous snakes for lunch. Rattlesnakes are even on their menu!

Funny and as well, strange enough, they're mostly immuned to other snakes' venoms! To cap it all, they are docile and easy to train as pet.

For those who hate snakes, just check out these guys' profile, walahi, àya yín á já. Nor be lie, check am...

Apologies bro but you are not making much sense.

Snake is friendly in which planet? Please show me proof that Cobras and Vipers are friendly. I'm interested in where you got that fallacy from.

And FYI, this poll was conducted in USA whose population is about 300 million.
Just a bit over half of the population fear snakes.

Snakes are creepy creatures and anyone who loves to keep them around as a pet will definitely come across as weird to atleast half the population of a country like the US not even Nigeria this time around.

To each his own. If you loves snakes good for you. But don't try to call a spade a shovel or paint water in a different colour.

Cheers.

Let us know before hand

and why would you want to keep it?. When you didnt have it did you die?

Don't try this at home.

There are no little snakes. All snakes are poisonous.

When the Covid vaccines were proven effective did they test 150 million people?

Nope, they conduct test on a few and then bring forward deductions. In other words, they GENERALISED.

That's the science of Statistics and that's how it is done every where.

An inference from that stats will tell you that over half the population of people on earth do not like snakes.

Cheers.

It's not surprising because fear of snake is a product of Western civilization. You need to go to India and conduct that poll. Ahhhh you may not even have to go to India because in parts of Anambra state, Enugu state, and other parts of the world snakes are seen in good light.

You can’t keep a wild snake as a pet even if it’s non venomous. You should let it go

Nope you are wrong. Chimps in the wild, the closest to humans in terms of intelligence hate snakes to the core.

They fear snakes extremely and make loud cries to warn off others when they sight a snake.

That tells you that the instinctive fear of snakes in humans precedes Western civilizations and the civilization in India or Anambra. Humans hated snakes from the beginning.

Chimpanzees also fear rats and any tiny creepy rodent. So the fear isn't because it's snake but that they have general fear for such animal. But even if Chimpanzees fear snake it doesn't mean that every animal or human civilization fear it.

In ancient Africa and in India and some parts of the world as I said earlier, the snake is seen in good light. Snakes are indeed pets in many homes around the world today.

If you're black, you're the gentle snake but you've been blackmailed as evil by white people. For details, see link in my previous post.

Ok

Nigerians white peopling. Sleeping with animals on the bed, keeping pet snakes.

Y'all have a gloomy future if you don't stop this nonesense.

Wild animals should not be kept in captivity..

Lol.. this is an eel na not a snake.

But, someday, you may have to let it go..

I concurr with your take on snakes and your take on Adam an eve.. But for the rest, seems you are convoluting concepts here..

I'm still keeping distance.
You can't trust any snake[/quote

There's something [I can't seem to tell what] about that animal that seems to me to be the reason it's called "snake", and the name to me doesn't seem to go in any way with the apparently innocent word "pet".
