AKJ update: the snakes have taken a commanding lead

14-Foot Burmese Python Bites Handler During Show at Aquarium in Florida
TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. — A 14-foot python bit its handler and tried to drag her into its cage during a show at an aquarium, and wouldn't release the woman until a police officer zapped the reptile with a stun gun.
Alison Cobianchi, 18, was taking Chloe, a Burmese python, out of her cage for the daily snake presentation Saturday at the
Tarpon Springs Aquarium when the snake wrapped itself around her arm and waist.

So, you want a pet python.
Step 1: get huge aquarium
Step 2: get some rats for food
Step 3: get stun gun

Pet shop owners should start selling stun guns as an accessory item when they're selling snakes.

You know, I'm really surprised; you'd think that once you gave a predatory and deadly animal a cute sounding human name that they would immediately cease having the instinct to kill and eat you.
