Title says it all

Like, do snakes even know youre their friend? From the people ive seen, they are still trying to kill you and wrap themselves around your neck, so why do people still keep them and talk to them as pets?

My guinea pig still sometimes runs away from me, but she at least likes me and and my voice and just stops eating if I dont speak to her every day to the point that I needed to force feed her nutrient slop, she lets me cuddle her, etc

And snakes are just like: I will kill you the second I see you

    I can raise you spiders.

    They are basically just advanced plants, which is why people never keep just one. (We ended at around 50 at some point, had an entire room wall-to-wall with terrariums).

    They look pretty and are very rarley fun to observe.
