Hi,

In my country, we are not accustomed to keeping python, spiders and other snakes as pets.

However, it would depend on the custom of a locality or country. Normally, such animals are not kept in a bedroom. There is no written document in the past on the above so looks like it is `new territory'.

Overall, one can still apply the Yin and Yang concept and classify such animals and relate it to Yin and Yang. From the looks of the creatures, they are in my opinion generally considered Yang insects and reptiles. Here, one should have a balance between Yin and Yang. In the bedroom, again depending on who is sleeping there i.e. if it is a child, a more Yang environment is acceptable as it promotes growth.

In Chinese symbolism, spiders are considered one of the most dangerous insects. (This is just a passing remark).

In my opinion, if it is common in your area, then it is ok.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
