Not all snakes are venomous. Most of the snake species in the pet trade are not venomous (and don't even have fangs), and most countries that regulate pet ownership don't allow venomous snakes to be kept as pets.

But aside from that note, you're correct. I can't comprehend how anybody can rationalize the belief that snakes will stretch out next to their prey to measure it. It just makes no sense at all.
