We surely love animals, but we gotta admit some of them are very scary and I’m confident to say that a lot of you are not fans of snakes. We've grown up knowing they're sneaky and a snake's bite can potentially harm us - especially if they're venomous. But, not everything about snakes is that bad. Some of them can be very friendly and that's one of the reasons a lot of people have brought them into their homes. Today we'll be looking at "10 Terrifying Snakes That Are Actually Friendly". You'll be surprised to know that there are actually a bunch of these reptiles out there that have no intention of harming you. Check out what's at the top of my list - as I'm sure the looks of this snake will make you want to avoid it, but it could actually become your new best friend!
Let’s begin.
Western Hognose Snakes
Our list begins with the Hognose Snake, a snake that is native to North America. It is known for its unique nose and for the fact that it spends most of its time burrowing. Compared to other snakes, the hognoses are quite small. But there's an aspect that might terrify a lot of people - when stressed, these snakes tend to extend their necks like cobras do and they do a very loud hissing noise that would make everyone freak out right away. However, this is all a show! The scariest thing that can happen from there is that they will strike, but with the mouth closed, which will only make them bounce off whatever they attack. The hognoses will rarely bite anything that isn't food. In fact, their defense mechanism is to run away and ultimately play dead, by rolling over onto their backs! Some people flip them back with their hands and the snake just goes back to playing dead. Isn’t that adorable? All of these facts make it sound like the Western Hognose Snake is the perfect pet, right?
Green Tree Python
The next snake on this list has very beautiful skin, but compared to others, this one likes to spend most of its time off the ground. Instead, the green tree python, as the name suggests... prefers to climb trees, which I'm sure makes a few people uncomfortable - they can easily just pop out and scare anyone that runs into them. With those eyes and those bright colors, I'm sure it's not the kind of animal you'd just come close to and pet. However, there's nothing about the tree pythons that should make us worry. In fact, they are so beautiful that many people decide to adopt them. And they can thrive in a domestic setting, as long as their owners learn how to meet their many needs. Their diet mainly consists of mice and small reptiles such as geckos and skinks. Due to their unique colors and their popularity among snake breeders, the green tree python is often illegally caught and transported, which puts its life at risk, as well as the well being of its entire population. For that reason, different people around the world are making efforts to keep the species safe.
Boa Constrictors
I am sure boas are somehow terrifying for a lot of people and it's not only because they're bigger, but also because they are very interactive. But, there's nothing to fear! Dogs are also interactive, and you're not scared of them, right? The Boas are perfect for those who want to have a large snake pet. They are also some of the most intelligent and curious reptiles out there. Overall, they like to display their interactive personality whenever they get a chance. I can see how a big intelligent snake can scare some people. However, boas rarely attack humans. They can be easily tamed and if they ever bite, which again - is rare, it might get a bit more painful than other snakebites, but it will not put your life in danger. They can live from 20 to 30 years and sometimes, even 40. So if you consider getting one today, make sure you're ready to make a lifetime commitment! These friendly snakes will likely stay by your side for half of your life.
Rosy Boa
Are you interested in boas? Then you’re gonna love the next one on my list! It's a very exotic kind of snake, originally from Cayos Cochinos in the North Coast of Honduras. And I know the word "exotic" paired up with "snake" is usually a red flag, but this snake is anything but threatening. Although they are not as common as most snakes, they are very docile animals.
