I can’t understand how some people can have
spiders and snakes for pets.
I don’t know what the appeal is about pets I find
creepy compared to a bird or a betta fish.
But maybe the problem is me because of my bias
against spiders and snakes.
Maybe those who can find joy in spiders and snakes
are better than me
because they are more accepting of pets most would
find creepy or scary.
But there is a situation where I would appreciate snakes over spiders.
If I had to die by being thrown into a pit of spiders or snakes,
I’d prefer snakes even though the spiders would be easier to step on and kill before they took me out.
I’d rather die with the snakes even if I had to be taken out by an anaconda that would strangle me to death.
