When he lived in our neighbourhood, he used to take it for a "walk" in the park and let it slither through the grass. Our neighbour was more than slightly freaked and was glad to see them both move out I'm sure.Perpetual Chocoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536475843763405457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790779.post-5617486990951184732010-03-27T13:16:57.831-04:002010-03-27T13:16:57.831-04:00I had 2 snakes in Canada, a ball python and a red ...I had 2 snakes in Canada, a ball python and a red tail boa. Easy to take care of, but do need research into their care, as care can be so different with each snake breed. My boa was pretty young, didn't really have a personality yet, but she was pretty docile. The python was pretty laid back, people think that he recognized me, not sure tho. He never tried to strike at me and was visibly calmer when I held him, but hard to say with an animal that can't blink ;) lolJennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790779.post-11126978079293419452010-03-27T13:02:56.785-04:002010-03-27T13:02:56.785-04:00Cats and ferrats are way down on my list of favori...Cats and ferrats are way down on my list of favorites.

Any snakes that I want, eat rats, so having one as a pet is out of the question. I think I would have a problem feeding the snakes something that I also have as a pet :/ <br /><br />I've never really understood why people are scared of rats, they are no worse then having a hamster as a pet when taken care of.Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790779.post-51252490009507421232010-03-26T19:33:32.334-04:002010-03-26T19:33:32.334-04:00Great post...never thought I'd be saying this ...Great post...never thought I'd be saying this but I do enjoy hearing about these interesting pets. I've always thought of rats as creepy and I think it's mostly because of the 'vermin' status the name conjures up in the mind. There are a couple of other bloggers who I frequent and they are huge rat fans and one attends a Ratfest each year and does rat portraits there. Over time, I have slowly come to see that domesticated rats make wonderful pets although I doubt I could ever own one as a pet. The same goes for cats though because I'm definitely a doggy person ~ :)Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790779.post-86482656217500225002010-03-26T15:49:09.162-04:002010-03-26T15:49:09.162-04:00lol!

It was their tails that I hated. Now I know they are so much better as a pet than other small creatures because they actually like to bo with you.Perpetual Chocoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536475843763405457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790779.post-65128705795711336022010-03-26T11:46:27.669-04:002010-03-26T11:46:27.669-04:00most animals are better company than most people ....most animals are better company than most people ....lol..... <br /><br />We used to have hamsters as kids...and my older cousin who was petrified of mice almost dove through the wall the first time we showed them to her. She ran screaming right out of the house. We couldn't figure it out at all...we had never known anybody who was afraid of mice or hamsters... we thought she was weird.BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.com
