some snakes are pets. |

some snakes do not make good pets even though they are sold in pet stores. burmese and reticulated pythons grow over 20 feet long and weigh more than 300 pounds. that is probably too much python to keep in your house. |
boas, pythons, king snakes, gopher snakes, rat snakes and many other kinds of snakes can be tamed. they will let you touch and hold them. other snakes don't like to be picked up, even if you are gentle.

ball pythons do not grow more than four or five feet long. a ball python is a good choice for a pet. be careful to choose a pet snake that you can still care for when it grows up, because it is hard to find a home for a snake that is too big for most people to keep.
