My daughter at almost 4 years old went to the pet store as a birthday present from us. We expected she would pick out a hamster or gerbil or some other cute and sweet little pet. NOPE! She chose 2 baby rat snakes. They are beautiful snakes, but as anyone who raises snakes know .... they eat crickets at a young age and then progress to mice for their diet. Guess who wound up feeding them? Ugh.
She loved those snakes and would carry them with her all over the house. Unfortunately, sometimes she would get busy playing with toys and put them down. It would take us days to coax them out of wherever they were hiding. And the kicker ... my hubby is afraid of snakes! Daughter and father got into it at times over these snakes!
