How about taking your snake for a walk?

I think you have a valid point there. If you have a big snake as a pet and you are living in Thailand and you lose your pet snake, chances are your pet snake would end up in someone's pot. If you are living in Malaysia, chances are your pet snake would have been beaten to a pulp before you can find it.

From what you have said, I take it that there is no way to train a snake to be subservient to its master. Right?
