Should Snakes Be Domesticated?
I believe snakes shouldn’t be domesticated. Snakes are able to get stressed when in captivity, and it can lead to death or diseases if they get too stressed. Snakes are able to get stressed and have anxiety just like humans, so they shouldn’t be pets if they get stressed in captivity till the point they die.
Glass tanks don’t provide necessary space for the snake, so it cannot stretch, roam and hunt; it also poorly mimics their natural surroundings. They’re also not common pets like cats and dogs, so they need to be taken care of differently and even if they aren’t poisonous, they can still be dangerous to have.
This is why I believe snakes shouldn’t be domesticated. However if you take care of your snake nicely, you know how to take care of it properly and it’s okay and happy with being a pet then I don’t really see a problem.
