Move Over Joe Exotic: People Share Heartwarming Photos of Their Unusual Pets

These majestic serpents can grow up to 20 feet long and weigh over 200 pounds, but if you’re up for the challenge, owning a python can be a truly fascinating experience. Picture yourself spending hours watching your python slither around its spacious enclosure or feeling the gentle squeeze of its muscles as it wraps around you for a cuddle (just make sure you’re not wearing your favorite sweater!).

But be warned, owning a python requires a significant investment of time, money, and effort. You’ll need to provide a proper habitat, temperature, and humidity controls, and a diet that includes live prey. But if you have a passion for reptiles and the resources to care for them, a python could be a slithering companion like no other.
