I live in a snake free country where nobody has snakes as pets.Only time you get to see snakes is at the zoo.I was curious as to what it is like owning a snake ?What do they really feel like and do you require a permit to keep your snake/s?The only time anyone has had a pet snake in NZ was a couple of months ago and he snuck the snake in from Australia.Sadly that snake was confiscated and put to sleep.I see that pythons have become a real problem in some parts of the US in particular Florida.Do you breed your snakes and if so how do you mate them ?If you do breed for selling how do you ensure that the buyer knows how to adequately care for the snake ?thanks for reading and perhaps replying
