hee hee... the beauty of this forum is that we can ask how big our balls will get, and everyone knows we're not being vulgar.

An acquaintance of my wife's was called by a friend of his this past week, complaining to him that she had seen a snake in their apartment building's laundry room. He went down expecting to find a little gopher snake or something similar, since this woman was phobic of snakes and tended to overreact to any. What he found was a 4 foot long albino Burmese Python. They're checking around the building to see if anyone lost the snake, but since he enjoys keeping snakes, and the Burmese seems to be a really friendly individual, he's kind of hoping whoever lost her doesn't claim her.

When my wife first told me that, my first thought was if he couldn't keep the snake, I'd take it in. Then I remembered just how big Burmese Pythons can get, and decided I'm glad HE found it and not me anyway. I think my wife's chihuahua would become even more nervous than he already is if I ever got a Burmese or other large snake species.
