They surely are beautiful and elegant creatures. Not all snakes in general, some look really scary, imo, but this one I already liked as a kid, and loved fairy tales where they appeared. Some years ago I had a slowworm in my hands, it got grilled on the superhot asphalt, and enjoyed getting cooled by my hand and me blowing at it. I looked like liquid copper with sparkles of silver and gold. Beautiful. Corn snakes also can look extrenemly pretty, though there is an incredible diversity in looks and colours. But we do not have thes ein Germany.
And no, I am not planning to get a terrarium.
