The most impractical snake?

While in theory, I somewhat agree with snakewispera snr, in practice I'd have to agree with Oren. I'm 5' 5" & 105 pounds. With all the theory & hands on experience in the world, I would never be able to handle one of the really big snakes by myself with any degree of safety & would probably not be strong enough to even be the primary handler. In that case, I don't consider it practical to "own" a snake like that. Same way with hots, I'm cautious & could probably learn to handle one safely but knowing myself, would never own one. Because I do get impatient & don't think I'd be able to be as careful as you should be all of the time when handling hots. 'Course that is just my opinion.
 
I think Oren means that no matter how much you want to be able to do something well, not everyone is equally gifted. You can't buy talent.

precisely. Experience is earned, but natural talent, physical strength and... some sort of a bond.
In short, we're all equal in worth, but not in abilities and traits.
