Hey hey now! I AM the girl who had a snake at thirteen and that worked ninety percent of the time. BUT the boy who did love the snake is the one i'm still with and he is awesome! I used it as a filter, not a deflector gentlemen lol Don't get the gun until he says, "Well, how about we just go to MY place." Then you had better invest in a gatlan gun! I had a guy try to pull that with me and I said he had to meet my snake and daddy first, he never talked to me again.
