With the arrival of the Year of the Snake, a unique and "lively" color has emerged in the pet-keeping craze—pet snakes, whose popularity has skyrocketed!
Not only are live pet stores selling briskly, but online sales of pet snakes are also considerable, with prices ranging from several hundred yuan to tens of yuan, among which pet snakes priced at tens of yuan are particularly popular.
Regarding the safety concerns that many people have, one shop owner explained that snakes sniff by flicking their tongues, so as long as there's no food smell on your hands, there's basically no need to worry about being bitten. The shop owner stated that there are many types of pet snakes, such as the milk snakes, king snakes, and hognose snakes in the shop, all of which are very docile and ideal pets.
