I have not always been a fan of snakes , of any kind! I mean I would literally spread my wings and fly at the sight of a king snake, and a hatchling at that. It wasn't until I was in veterinary school that I had no choice but to help treat a 14 ft long retic with a facial swelling that turned out to be an abcess , imagine me being that close to the mouth of that thing! I was scared to death ! That was until I noticed that she actually looked grateful that we were helping her and for the first time in my life I witnessed first hand that even snakes ,one of the most highly feared reptiles could show appreciation and love because afterwards she took a ride back to her enclosure on my shoulders . I mean wow! Now to the dismay of many of my friends and family I own two sweet little sneaky snakes of my own and cherish everyday that I have with them .
PS : I plan on purchasing either a carpet python or rosy boa this spring ! Ya'll can help me decide which
