Beware of the snake man

[bcr229]

Well before I ever had a snake I'd get bored at work and hop on Craigslist. I'd post a picture of a Burmese and tell everyone that "Shadow" was once fed kittens by the previous owner and will not take anything else. I'd ask in the pet section for anyone with a steady supply of baby white kittens (Shadow prefers white).

It was a fun experiment. I got a lot of emails from people telling me how much they laughed at the obvious tongue-in-cheek post and a few telling me they were reporting me to the cops and all of that. I kept it up for about a month, I laughed at the responses.

One lady wrote me a nasty gram saying she cried for a day after reading my post and that she had reported me to the FBI or something.

I found it hysterical.

Gee thanks. I'm currently dealing with a very ignorant/uninformed witch-with-a-B spouting off on all my ball python sale threads on the local FB classified pet forums about evil snake owners taking the FTGH kittens as food for their snakes. Of course she can't point to a single instance that she knows of or name anyone doing it, but since she read it on the Internet it must be true.
