This unironically is why I got my first cat and it actually really helped me get through bad depressive episodes when I didn’t even want to get out of bed

Wait why? Snakes are a lot more difficult to care for than cats

I would unfortunately wait until you have a little more room to get a cat, like in an apartment, just because it would be unfair for the cat. But if your college allows it you could totally get a small caged animal like a guinea pig or something!

snakes eat once every 2 weeks, don't leave their enclosure most of the time, and can have all their enclosure environment monitored thru apps
