I used to keep a lot of snakes, including a boa constrictor.
They're far more personable than most people think.

They are! I had a friend with a 6' red tailed boa that I would nap with..
The only time it turned out sorta badly was when the snake got entangled in
the guitar on the couch and we had to destring it to get the snakey head out.
But he was a sweetie.

And I miss the albino consrictor from across the street. She was nice.

And corn snakes are very affectionate.
