Hi Kathy:
I think that with most pets, be it snakes or rabbits, or anything in
between, a lot of people see these things and think it they are really
cool, so they want one. I know even with rabbits and especially the
squirrel, they take special handling and can't be just taken care of by
anyone. Correctly anyway.
I don't know how many people have said that they were going to get a
rabbit or a squirrel because they saw the ones I had. But when I tell
them how much destruction they can cause if not properly taken care of
they kinda change their minds.
You see a lot of this especially at Easter, when people buy these
bunnies, chicks, and ducklings for their kids. A month later they are
either at the local animal shelter, or worse yet turned lose to survive
on their own.
Snakes sound really interesting but if you don't know how to take care
of them or handle them, it would be better to get a dog or cat, IMO.
