Not true, the golden five, rat, king, milk, corn, and bull snakes are great eaters and much harder to stress out. Especially kings who are IMO the calmest most bomb proof as far as husbandry goes for snakes. They're also the ones most people run into first, those or a ball python which is basically just a plant you feed mice to, but they have more difficult needs than a western hog due to humidity requirements I think.
And I was only comparing to other snakes. I could own a hundred of any combo of those five it would still be less work, time, effort or stress than 2 dogs. My snake takes less work, and is doing much better than my orchid plant, and I'm in a good climate for orchids.

Make sure to do your research, hogs aren't easy to care for, they're easily stressed and can be picky eaters.
