It was naturally planted and had a little tree with a lot of branches in the middle and wrapped around in the branches was this really pretty snake that was long and skinny. It had a pretty steep price tag but I was pretty fascinated by it. I asked the guy behind the counter about it and he said he didn't know much about it but it seemed to be really curious and was always out moving through the branches of the tree. He said that it had a really funny name. It was called a 'boomslang' we both had a good chuckle about the name and I left the store. I later heard that it wouldn't eat and eventually died. I guess in a way it's good that nobody bought it. I swear that I was impulsive enough back then that if I had the money, I probably would have bought it without knowing anything about it but that it was a pretty snake.
Duuuuuude.
