Snakes are wonderful pets. I luv snakes bcoz I am a wildlife vet. Just peep into my newly organized site- http://wildlifeworld.info. You'll get all info here but it may take couple of months to get uploaded. I LUV croc's too...
My cousin has snakes... I know what you all mean by getting the shivers but his snakes are so harmless. My friend also has a rather large snake, like 6 foot long and about 3 inch's wide! Now that thing is freaky! Just think, you go to be all happy, and while your asleep the snake gets on and gets in bed with you. It just so happens to get around you and squeeze ever so tightly... By Bye
I found a shit load more but decided not to put them on because they were pretty grim. Good luck with your endevour though! <!--Changed my mind!! --> Beware, not for the sqeamish. Again: do not view if you don't like seeing things that are a bit minging Ok here are the worse one I found: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/2437/snakebite3.jpg http://www.searo.who.int/Image/oth_Publications_fig44.jpg http://z.about.com/d/urbanlegends/1/0/2/B/day_9_sm.jpg Yuk!
if its serious, not sure it would be allowed there ? may be u can look for a rubber snake as alternative
fair play to you for even wanting one. i personally dont mind snakes but simply wouldnt be able to put up with the dead rats, thats the only thng that would really put me off! (especially as the dead rats need to be kept in the freezer with your food. lol)
