Certain types of snakes can go months without eating. This is especially true of the big constrictors, such as the Anaconda and the reticulated python. Snakes eat large meals (relative to their body size), and they have much slower metabolisms than we humans have. This partly explains how they can go so long between meals.

For other people's safety, you might want to put your exotic pet in a faintly solitary region, far from children who may be better off not mingling with them. Keep the exotic pet faint but still viewable. Some exotic pets don't precisely accept the idea of being fawned over by strangers. It might even take more time and considerable exercise for it to cheery up to you, much more with other people.

Most of the world's snakes (nearly two-thirds) are non-venomous. Only about 500 snake species are venomous, and of those only 30 - 40 are considered harmful to humans. In other words, less than 2 percent of all snakes are considered harmful to humans. It is a fact that more Americans die each year from bee stings than from snake bites.
