Ever since I was a kid I wanted a snake for a pet, but my parents would never let me have one.
So, when I finally moved out on my own I bought a golden colored baby boa. I put it in a $2,000 terrarium and filled it with all kinds of plants and rocks and a little pond, and all of my friends thought it was really cool.
Six months later I got rid of it. Who knew snakes had such bad tempers. Maybe it was my fault. Maybe I spoiled her, I don’t know. All I know is that every day she was throwing a hisssssy fit about something.
