I just so wanted to share this story that happened earlier this afternoon.
We went to the park and met this 12-year-old-or-so kid and his dad and the kid said he just saw a black racer snake! And my sons said, "Oh cool"! And he said, "You like snakes?" And my sons said, "yeah!" And he said very proudly, "I have a pet cornsnake!" And my sons said, "AWESOME! We have 3 ball pythons and a hognose!"
So then his dad said to me, "he's only allowed that one cornsnake. I won't let him have any constrictors at all. They can be really dangerous."
I was so tempted to say, uhm, the cornsnake is a constrictor... but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
I'm just so glad the kid is a reptile enthusiast!![]()
