One of the kids said he loves snakes, and wants to be an exotics vet. (That's exactly what he said. He's 10! I was so proud of him) I'm hoping that his passion for the animals drives him to put pressure on his parents. But I know a lot of people that have that "my kid doesn't know better than me, the adult!" mentality... Ugh, makes me so mad! It's clear as day that this poor animal isn't acting right, even my roommate who doesn't know a thing about snakes thought that the little guy was dead when he came in. It's not a subtle thing.
