Let’s face it, snakes have a bit of a PR problem in the pet world. It’s not even undue. Depending on where in the world you live, there’s a legit possibility that a snake bite could leave you writhing in pain, if not dead. In those areas, it’s not wrong to respect their space.
But there are also many, many completely harmless snakes out there. They’re basically just wiggly bits of colorful string. The thing that just might help them make a breakthrough with the more squeamish crowd? Accessories.
