Other than the ones on my head? Yes, many times. I used to catch them in the fields and woods around where I lived when I was a kid.

Snakes are ultra creepy.

So no.

Most of the pets I've had as a kid were various animals I've caught outside. I cant tell if a snake is poisonous or not so I never caught out. I kinda like the idea of having a snake but I prefer other types of pets so I never bought one. I might be interested if someone was giving a snake away & I knew I could afford to take care of it & I had time to do some research first to be sure I could take good care of one.

I remembered I have pet a snake a couple times. One time was a friend of a friend who brought a couple pet snakes with him & maybe once or twice at a zoo when I was little.

I have. I liked the slithering sensation. I'd like to get a black, red and yellow snake and name her Heidi.

Like a milk snake?

Or a corn snake?

They're a really popular type for keeping as pets, so you should be able to find lots of good advice.

Never, but I'd be interested in trying. Under the right circumstances!

(There are only 6 species of wild land reptile in my entire country, and two of those are extremely rare. If you see a snake, there's a 50% chance it's the dangerous one.)

Blue Malayan Coral Snake (don't touch, danger-noodle)

California Red Sided Garter Snake (above and below)

That's the best I could find.

I love holding snakes. I would absolutely have at least one snake as a pet if I could handle feeding them.
