A snake

[Maruschke]

My brother has two pet snakes. One escaped into the backyard and he found it 6 months later. Saw a snake slithering by and thought, hey I think that looks familiar... picked the snake up, cuddled it, put it back into the snake tank. I was beside myself with worry... but it really was his pet snake returning. Bizarre.

They are beautiful creatures. I am considering getting one, but with travel etc at the moment, I can't quite justify it.

Hope your DS enjoys his new pet.

It's here, we literally got back 10min ago. It's only a baby so it's sort of cute (can't believe I said that) for now till it grows bigger. He's trying to convince me to hold it not gonna happen.

Regards,
Dianne

when i read "a snake" i though "shoot it" but seeing as its a pet (python im guessing) i think they're cute too. would never have one with the snakes we have here being all deadly but i hope your DS enjoys his snakes just think if you find a mouse you can let it find its place on the food chain

If you don't like snakes, my house would be the last place you would ever want to come. We have about 40 snakes.

When DH was away last year I accidently let 3 out. Luckily I found them pretty easily. DH use to have a large Diamond python that just lived in his room, mainly stayed under his pillow. He always kept his door closed and had a rubber slider thing at the bottom. He only put it away after for a feed and until it had done its business. Kept his mum out of his room

Sopdet, snakes are the best animals to have if you travel a lot. They don't require affection of a lot of attention. They can go a couple of weeks easy without food and aslong as they have enough water they are happy. Sounds like a good pet for you.
