A guy on an online dating site said he'd like to (someday) have a 🐍 for a pet. Yes, you read that right (dude likes exotic pets besides other, normal pets). Same guy mentioned (in his write-up) that the motivation for his setting up a profile was that when a senior member of his company asked him once (at a social event) why he was *still* unmarried, the guy apparently didn't have anything good to answer. (Well, if the colleague knew of this guy's ophidiophilia, I'm guessing the colleague would not have asked this qs). The guy seems to have a good academic background + seems to be doing alright professionally & otherwise (based on what little could be gauged from his profile), and I was almost going to express interest, but.. saw this. 🤦♀️ Sorry dude, hard pass... ✌ just thought of sharing.. EDIT: Since I seem to have rubbed a few people the wrong way, I just want to clarify that I don't hate snakes as such, I'm just not comfortable living with them or having them nearby constantly (regardless of how small/ harmless they are, or where they are kept - caged in some aquarium, etc). I have visited national parks & cradled other, bigger reptiles. Having said that, I don't think I'm in the minority regarding my preferences. I'd be willing to bet I'm not. This post was also made in the context of a few others I saw here, where some guys were rueing the fact that they did not seem to attract dates (based on their online profiles). Maybe I could've (should've) been more gentle, but this was an example from the OTHER side, of someone looking at a GUY's profile & sharing her experience/ view of it. It's not like my profile is perfect, I'm sure any guy could give me a few valid tips too that I've overlooked. And sure, please, you do you, but please also don't fret if/ when, due to what you've put on your profile (or not), you lose out on potential matches. Good luck.
snakes are dope. had a california king when I was a kid. He was an awesome dude. Good luck with your online dating kid
Maybe he’s trying to be funny through his write up
I hope so. But he's taking his chances (with those who wouldn't even ask & just pass).
Wait what's wrong with snakes as pets? Am I missing something here? My little brother has snakes, my fiancee had snakes before we met...
Wait what, how is a snake an exotic pet? And why are you so judgmental on someone’s pet preferences lmao. You sound pretty close minded, feel sorry for whoever you end up with 😂
I'm just saying what his profile stated. Everyone has preferences. This was the first profile I came across that SPECIFICALLY expressed a desire to have a snake for a pet. And I'm not exactly new to online dating to know that my preferences aren't out of the blue.
Also: "..how is a snake an exotic pet?" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotic_pet 'Close minded' much YOURSELF?
Don't listen to anyone here. You are correct, snake as pet is ridiculous
Thanks, Koala. Maybe I need to set up a vote to showcase the incidence (& preference) of dog lovers to snake lovers, to some folks here. smh

Big deal. Been there, done that. Also, strawman. There's a big difference between PETTING an animal and KEEPING it as a pet.
Lol. If you are not ready to take different opinions, why even post. Get urself to respect what others have to say.
It’s a 12 year old
Amateur hour. Never show the snake unsolicited
A snake is better than a b1tch any day.
Maybe his own snake is small...that’s why he wants to keep another
He needs a shrink then, not a snake
Shrink it even further
