Don't be a bigot, fool =)) I'm not filipino myself ( I'm half-brit, half-chinese) but the people here are quite sensitive and i love them to death so there.. haha Snakes here aren't as popular but they're becoming increasingly more accepted as pets. We've even got some rare ones already like the piebald spider. Though, don't expect them to come cheap ( snakes here are EXTREMELY OVERPRICED.) A kahl strain boa for example would cost you something like 1,500 USD. ( On the bright side though, beer here costs you only .50 usd tax inclusive and cigs are only 1 usd a box so it's quits =))
