    I know several people who keep them. It's not as fragile as you would think. It does feel exceptionally weird. It's extremely smooth feeling. Like silk. As long as you are keeping your animals in good conditions and feeding f/t or dead prey, you have nothing to be concerned about.

    I guess my comment was to the fact they don't have scales protecting their skin.

    If they were being attacked by a predator they would definitely be at much greater risk than a snake with scales.
