I don't think purching a snake high up on a filthy dirty balcony rail, where it could potentially fall to its death (easily done) or contract a disease or illness from the micro-organisms present, and those that can be passed from birds and alike.

And before somone hits back with "if it was in the wild", if it was in the wild, it would not have a concrete floor to fall on, and if it was to fall it may or may not survive. But when in our care it is our duity to protect them from harm.

And a wild snake would have a stronger immune system to deal with pathogens, and disease is still a big problem in the wild.


The word I used "Toy" means "kind of pet animal" or "animal in capitivity" for human ego and the life.

They heal us and entertain us.


I do take my boelens at my balcony. As you mentioned, it might not be 100% safety. Risky yes.
But I don't do same thing with my Jampea/Blue beauty/ turtle etc which are not being arboreal animal or animal moving fast/being jamper/being fear at higher place.

My boelens always seems enjoy sun basking at my balcony and stays on there with no movement, with clinging tighly. i always watching him and besides him.

Filthy dirty balcony? I wipe it and it is always under the sun. Sun beam make it dry and kill all filthy bacterias.

Yes, my animals might be a kind of "Item" for taking pictures.

But the most suitable word should be "my idol model" for my camera.

i do love my animals in my way of love.

you do love your animals with your way of love.

Our love for animals cannot measure with a rule.
