My mom was not happy at all and is still not happy. My sister just adores him though! I actually was on skype with them both last night and I happened to have Severus out, my mom was not impressed and told me to put him away... He was just too cute though! He was all up in the camera his toung was going and all. My mom is so conviced that my 1 1/2 ft python is the root of all evil :)
