.... one of the reasons I fell in love with BPs is that my son was born in the Year of the Snake in the Chinese Zodiac calendar. My first interaction with a BP just reminded me of my son - friendly, cute, inquisitive.
So you can say that I have a soft spot in my heart for snakes... not that I BELIEVE in that zodiac stuff, but being that my family is Chinese American, and the Chinese Zodiac hovers over our culture, I can't help but think about my boy everytime I play with my BP.
