my new baby snake

this has been a very busy week-I just purchased a new snake.I will bring him home on saturday,he is a columbian red boa and is 6 months old.I bought all the set up and looking forward to having a new member of the family.I miss my other snakes and sad that they are gone,but we must go on.some people don't understand my attachment to theses wonderful creatures.some people don't think you can bond with a snake.sure I can't teach it to fetch a stick or cuddle with it on the couch.I can't take it on walks(well i can I just be the one doing all the walking.)

but there is a bonding which only other reptile lovers understand.sure its not the same way you bond with a cat or dog or even a ferret.but its something we do and that we love and no one else seem to understand.

I see people all the time trying to prohibit us from owning snakes,and I read where some cities have succeeded.I don't try to tell you to get rid of your pitbulls or rottweilers or other animals that people have.I can guarantee if I can't have my snakes i will be damn if I will let you keep your precious little dogs.so you keep out of my buisness and I will keep out of yours.let me have my snakes and you can have your pitbulls and your rottweilers,bulldogs and wolves.I will look the other way when you let them loose to roam our neighborhoods and promise I won't call the dog pound(since we do have a leash law) and have them impounded and put to sleep. you just let me have my snakes AND WE WILL GET ALONG JUST FINE.
