You could say that about any pet snake really, but as long as you’re a good snake owner it’s not a big risk. They eat once every week or two on a schedule and the general rule of thumb is don’t cuddle with them when it’s feeding day. Feed them in a special container that’s only association and purpose is feeding.

After a bit of that they catch on and you can dangle your hand in their face all you want. They’ll understand you are the food source and not a threat. Then you get to chill with them, since they are cold blooded they like cuddlinga with your warmth quite a bit. It’s another rule of safety just don’t let them get a coil around something like a leg or what have you.

Snakes are cool pets just pretty high maintenance. I could see this snake being even more lazy since it’s so big, but moving it has to be a two man job.

but also the right snake with a decent setup could be one of the easiest pets to own! Not as resilient pr independent as a cat but the needs for something like a cornsnake are pretty minimal once you have a proper setup for it
