Oxnard snake tip of the month: Do snakes make good pets? - Snakes are often kept as pets, and snakes purchased from pet stores can be satisfying additions to your home as long as they are well maintained and kept stress-free. As long as you aren't looking at a snake as a low-maintenance animal, you'll be fine. Snakes require the same amount of attention (if not more) than a cat or a dog, and in many cases, snakes demand very specific environmental controls. A snake is not a pet to get just because you want less responsibility. Taking on a snake with this mindset will just result in a sick or dead animal. Snakes from the wild are a different story. These animals are accustomed to life outdoors, and they have no understanding of captivity and what goes along with it. If you catch a snake outside, bringing it in and putting it in a cage will severely stress the animal and may make it dangerous. What's more, you may never be able to handle a wild snake as you would one bred for captivity, though some species are much more docile than others. No matter what, always do what is best for the snake. Often, this means leaving it alone.
