Beware of the snake man

[jclaiborne]

Well before I ever had a snake I'd get bored at work and hop on Craigslist. I'd post a picture of a Burmese and tell everyone that "Shadow" was once fed kittens by the previous owner and will not take anything else. I'd ask in the pet section for anyone with a steady supply of baby white kittens (Shadow prefers white).

It was a fun experiment. I got a lot of emails from people telling me how much they laughed at the obvious tongue-in-cheek post and a few telling me they were reporting me to the cops and all of that. I kept it up for about a month, I laughed at the responses.

One lady wrote me a nasty gram saying she cried for a day after reading my post and that she had reported me to the FBI or something.

I found it hysterical.

There really is no other way to put this than it just seems ignorant and unnecessary.
