Family was not happy, but surprised, thought it was a joke. Now my mum calls my 6 month old python cute names and dad can't say anything bad cause he is to 'blame' I love snakes. He caught me one non poisonous in the forest when I was 5 years old and since I held it was it. They said when you move to your own apartment you can own one and there you go

Friends mostly think I am out of my mind. Few of them share my opinion.

The stupid reactions such as 'It will eat you', It will bite you, You are crazy, It is poisonous vicious animal, how can you feed it with poor mice (ya, in nature it eats frozen chicken from a supermarket) ....is best to ignore those, the ones who are open minded, love all animals and are curious will ask normal questions. They don't have to like it, but they don't have to embarrass themselves with such stupidity and ignorance.
