    "Slither slither slither" a poem from Julian
    So my nephew Julian wrote this poem about Monty. I thought I'd share it with you guys (I know its not the stuff that's usually posted here, but I thought it was cute!)

    -"Slither slither slither, I bump my nose against the glass.
    "Take me out, Ma!" I say. "I miss your warmth!"
    I love my Ma, and my dad.
    They saved me.
    Sometimes I get scared, and I scare my Ma and Dad, but I don't mean to.
    I hope they still love and trust me!
    I'm trapped in a glass box, but Ma and dad take me out often, sometimes even outside!
    The sun tickles my scales.
    I like to climb on the banister, but Ma takes me down.
    "No, Monty." She says, but I pretend I can't hear her.
    Its warm in my glass house. But sometimes it gets cold and dark.
    They feed me fat little mice, they're so tasty I gobble them up fast, and then I get another one in a week!
    Sometimes Julian asks to hold me, but ma tells him "Not right now, you have too much energy" but I feel lazy all the time. I like to hide in my rock house. It makes me feel safe.
    But sometimes, when Ma and dad are sleeping I like to come out so I can see them without getting scared!
    Lots of people are scared of me, and I don't know why, I'm very nice. I even let Ma touch my head sometimes when I feel brave.
    Slither slither slither."-

    I thought it was absolutely adorable, he's 10, and this is what he thinks of Monty.

    What do your younger siblings, or children, think of your snakes?

    Isn't it adorable? I can't believe he picked all that up in the last few months.
