I got into snakes when I was 7. My little brother was allergic to fur, feathers, anything that fell into the "typical" pet category. I always hated the fact other kids had pets to brag about. One day, my mom comes home with a shoebox. "Here see what you can do with this" inside was a garter snake. I'm like WTF?!?
To make a long story short I have been in love with snakes for a third of my life. I am a responsible owner. I don't think these animals are for everyone.
My snakes have very distinctive personalities. The reticulated pythons are the supermodels of the snake world: long, lanky and bitchy. My burmese python, lillith is like a dog. She wags her tail when given a "treat" and drinks out of the toilet. My red tail boa, Red (sorry not very original) is my lapdog and sleeps with me in bed.
Ok done with my epic. Anyone have a story about unusual pets?
