No, snakes are wild and not domestic animals. The domestication process takes place over thousands of years. Animals such as cats, dogs and horses have been selected, through breeding, for specific characteristics that are repeated for many generations.
Dogs are believed to have been domesticated between 27,000 and 40,000 years ago. As for cats, it is estimated that this happened between 3,600 and 9,500 years ago. As these animals are domesticated, with proper care and conditions, they can live with humans in captivity without suffering.
In Canada, for example, many snakes sold in the so-called "exotic animal trade" come directly from nature - mainly from West Africa. Even animals that are bred outside of nature are descendants of animals that were born in the wild. In a home, it is impossible to replicate the space and freedoms that snakes have in their natural habitat. As a result, they suffer.
In captivity, snakes are unable to naturally regulate their body temperature, diets are insufficient - because they cannot find their own food - and they are unable to explore or stretch, as they would in nature.
What's wrong with trying to domesticate snakes?
The domestication of an animal is a process that takes many generations and occurs over hundreds or thousands of years and this process involves the selective reproduction of certain genes.
The reproduction of snakes is dangerous because it reduces the genetic background, especially when breeders mate animals that are related to sell more. In addition, snakes are bred intensively and selectively to generate unusual colors and patterns, so that breeders can sell them at a higher price.
Selective breeding can also alter the animal's natural size and cause several negative impacts on its physical and mental health. This is particularly common in snakes and other reptiles, as buyers increasingly want genetically selected versions that bear little resemblance to their wild relatives.
