    Seems like there is more story here. Unless you were just trying to reinforce the creepy/freaky nature of reptile owners.

    Yeah, this is my concern.

    It seems kind of cruel to keep a snake in a glass tank for your entertainment (or non-entertainment).

    They seem like simple creatures but they definitely can get bored - there's a reason they escape so often.
