I have two red ear sliders, got them quarter size and now they are almost a foot round each... I have a Mali Uromastyx and I also a tarantula (kinda like the 2nd one pictured above)...
Pics of snakes will be okay, but i don't like the real one. It looks like they're going to bite you to death.
Reptiles...snakes are just like human...they are just protecting their rights to live...if they see something that would threaten their existence then they won't hesitate to attack just to protect themselves...
I take it all pretty seriously, I enjoy the adrenaline from the spiders and the adaptation of actions required to manipulate them during moves etc.
That green python is a badass, not very big but aggressive. Bit me a few days ago on the hand, that does not phase me in the slightest though. I have been involved in herpetelogical husbandry and fresh/marine aquaria for almost 20 years now.
The spiders are ofen new species to sciene that have not been taxonomically classified yet. It is a privilige to work with such rarities, and care for animals that were just found say in 2004.. . pretty interesting to me.
They are treated as genetic breeding stock for the most part, although I will handle any non venemous snakes in the right conditions. I have worked with "hot" reptiles before but don't need that risk in my home. I do not handle the spiders unless their is a need [save their life] etc.
some of the tarantulas can really fuck you up though..
here is a pic of one of the newest and currently most revered species, not my specimen as it does not have the brilliant coloration yet.. .
cyriopagapus sp. "singapore blue"
aboreal 9-11 inch spider that is fast as lightning and I have seen one wig out biting everything in the cage including the side about 6 bites in total, you can hear the sound as the fangs hit objects.. .
About a dozen crested geckos all color morph 1 gargoyle gecko
iguana
turtles (red ear)
5 green tree pythons some being color morph
1 Jungle carpet python
20 or so of the rarest tarantula species in north america.. .
I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing those are in the house

I have a knight anole and a longnose snake, got both of them over the weekend at an exotic pet show in Hamburg, PA. Going back December 3rd for some more reptiles and spiders. The show was great.
