      Trust me my ball python was empathic, compassionate and would feel guilty after biting me.

          Snakes are lizards for all intents and purposes, but colloquially zoologists and biologists won’t refer to them as such.

          Sort of like how birds aren’t reptiles (they are) and corvids are not crows (they are, unless you’re a dick about it)
