First confirmed case: 23 ft reticulated python kills and consumes 25 year old adult male human whole

Fuck snakes....I stalked and killed a probably harmless 2 foot snake that found its way into my house a few months ago. I was sweating bullets, as cobras are everywhere here and anti-venom is scare. And fuck the stupid locals that take pride in catching them with their hands....yeah, YOUR life is cheap. Not mine.

or even worse when they drape them around their own bodies

no that isn't an affectionate pet, that thing is sizing you up for a meal

Tbh that goes for any non-mammal or non-bird.

If you're gonna own a pet I think its just logical that it should be an animal intelligent enough to recognize you and show affection in some capacity (canines, felines, parrots, pigs, etc).

Snakes, spiders, lizards, and fish??? Those aren't really ever pets.

Lol. Yes they are, there are plenty of reptiles that are capable of recognizing individuals.

The thing with reptiles though is do they form real bonds with their owners? A snake, for example, seems to learn to view a given human as neither a threat nor food, so it doesn't get defensive or aggressive around them. But is it feeling any of the things that the other guy listed?

You're the Zookeeper, you tell me.
 
I better keep an eye on my retic,he might be planning to eat me.

People are shocked to find that things kill people and eat them.

You learn a lot when you put down snapchat and get off of Instagram.

Uh, I don't think anyone here is shocked. It's newsworthy because it's the first confirmed case.

But please Indiana Jones, tell us more about the world.
