I dunno shit about what makes a good snake owner but he's apparently gone 5 years without it getting out, can't tell you how many lost dog and cat stories I hear from owners that have had an animal for less time.
Some animals dont have genders because usually that animal would have both reproductive organ, e.g. snails. Snake have clearly define lines on who hatches the eggs and who creates the sperm
Thinking a reptile that has plenty of exposure to humans won't harm humans is bad, not the issue of having the animal escape once in a lifetime.
It's just as bad as thinking your loving German Sheppard wouldn't harm a human.
