Star it's gonna be a comfort thing ultimatly though. If you didn't feel comfortable with your safety of handling them you wouldn't do it.

And ok I know I admit animals are unpredictable and I know homer is still a dangerous animal. But with everything in this world can be dangerous. You wanna follow a two person rule for everything that can be dangerous in this world? I hope you have a really good friend that you can put up with being around constantly because everything can be dangerous. I'm not gonna give up a snake that I'm comfortable handling and know what I'm doing with that has never shown aggression because I don't have someone else to help me everytime the majority of population thinks I should have help. I know the dangers of it and I know the consequences and that just makes me extra careful. I don't believe in the two person rule in every instance. I don't think it's always needed. Everyones situation is different. I live with my parents so yea alot of the time I have someone around the house but it makes no difference to me. Honestly I care more for the snakes life than I care for mine as messed up as that may sound. I would rather him be comfortable then for it to stop me from taking it out and stretching or cleaning it's cage because there ain't someone else around. If you want to enforce this rule so much tell breeders that work with these large animals to stop breeding because I'm willing to bet if everyone was in this mindset that this rule is a must there would be alot of homeless giants out there. There's more people who own giants then what's on this site and I'm sure a good deal of them probably handle them alone alot of the time as well. and I gaurentee there's people who share my opinion on this site who just won't speak up and that's fine too. The fact that I feel I do not feel I need someone else to handle my 13' Burmese python does not make me an irresponsible keeper. It doesn't make me a unsafe keeper. And it doesn't make me a threat to this hobby.
