30 Snakes, Nope Ropes, And Danger Noodles That Are Too Cute To Pass By
Interview
Snakes are some of the most misunderstood animals in the world. They’re often thought of as slimy, slithery, and scary, but they’re actually quite beautiful and fascinating creatures. The truth is that even though they may have a bad reputation, they’re actually pretty cool animals. Some people will welcome them in their houses as pet snakes, despite how controversial that can be. Snakes are a part of almost every ecosystem on Earth, from deserts to rainforests to grasslands. Despite this, it’s surprising how little people know about them.
I was 5 when I first met one, and I immediately thought that those deep eyes were super charming. Snakes might have fangs and be able to slither around quickly, but this doesn’t make them less cute. I know what you’re thinking. Snakes? Cute? How can anything with scales, no nose, and a forked tongue be cute? Well, that’s because you’ve probably never seen these pictures of snakes! Check these cuties out, and let us change your mind for good!

A Snake In Disguise!

What snake? I only see a picture of a giraffe.... I demand a refund, I've been mislead
Mud spider 3 years ago
Where’s the snake though? The title says snakes but I literally don’t see any snake, all I see is a pillow and a giraffe 😕
Miss Frankfurter 3 years ago
I love this. Does this mean they make little headpieces for snakes? I see so many that would be hard for someone to make. Where would you get them? Also, you could take your snake out for Halloween.
To get a better grasp of what (or, how awesome) snakes are, Bored Panda got in touch with Elvya Dulcimer, the mastermind behind Snakes With Hats, which is a Facebook and also Reddit page and online community that is exactly what it sounds like—a place that serves as a user-generated compendium of pictures of snakes wearing hats and showing off their adorable sides.
If this sounds all too familiar, or if some of the submissions give you a sense of dejavu, it’s quite likely that you have also taken a glance at the Snakes With Hats article we’ve published a bit over a year ago. But be sure to check that one out too for more context and, of course, cutesy nope rope goodness.

The Arabian Sand Boa Never Fails To Amuse Me, As It Strongly Resembles A Small Child’s Best Effort At Drawing A Snake
Mud spider 3 years ago
This is entirely misleading, the title clearly states there are snakes, and I was very excited to see the snakes, I was not expecting to see a child’s drawing rather than a pet or wild snake, I demand you change the title as to not mislead people, this is a very cute drawing though
Jessica Blankenship 3 years ago
It IS a real snake, the caption was trying to be funny. Saying the snake looks so off the wall goofy that it LOOKS like a child's drawing but it isn't.

In our previous article, we discussed how folks keep snakes as pets for a number of reasons: they have great personalities, they are,as you can see, adorable, some folks get them to get over their fears, and they are not too hard to take care of.
"The difficulty in keeping snakes depends on the species of snake. You have easy beginner snakes like corn snakes that adapt to a range of environments, but you can go as hard as you want when it comes to keeping them. Most snakes will need a minimum enclosure of their full, stretched out length x1,5 and appropriate heat and lighting," elaborated Elvya.

My albino checkered garter snake Flicky does this too. Never mind the fact that he's a glorified noodle, he really has no clue that he's so smol compared to people. He does look annoyed tho that his action elicits an "awwwww" instead of "please mr. snake, don't eat me."
BugZapperBob 3 years ago
I know I'm 4 months late, but- I had a garter who did the exact same thing! She sadly had some health issues (the vet said it was likely her heart) but even towards the end she always tried to eat anyone and anything that came near her (:

Green Snake Hatchling
And, as you might have understood already, snakes come in all shapes and sizes, and that goes double for what they are like in their character.
"Some snakes are usually very social and docile, like corn snakes or ball pythons. Others can be a bit more cheeky and like to play dead, such as hognoses. Yet other snakes can act a bit more defensive when it comes to handling them and won't shy away from biting."
"The key here, as with everything animal-related, is research. The internet is full of stories and testimonials from snake keepers who will elaborate on the behavior of your preferred snake species," explained Elvya.

Since Elvya is the proud owner of several reptile species, including Neo the Red Tegu, we asked how do snakes generally coexist with other reptiles. And she explained that the rule of thumb in the reptile community is to not co-house most animals, especially if they are of different species. Yes, there can be exceptions to the rule, but it's not recommended.
Besides them trying to eat each other alive, there's always the risk of reptiles contracting diseases and spreading it amongst each other, especially if their lovely little human companions don't wash their hands and go fondle them for a selfie.

Not really. These kinds of snakes are raised from birth by humans, and they like to do this. They know not to squeeze too hard around the neck or hands, but sometimes they will squeeze hard if they're scared.
