The little boy seems to love his pet snake. The wee snake by the berry is just adorable. Linda had a pet snake, a 3 1/2 foot long python named Rocky. He was very sweet and loved to wrap himself around Linda's shoulders when she did chores. He never bit her or hissed at her once. He did try to eat Chip once when she was just a kitten. Rocky got out of her cage and cornered Chip, he was just about to strike when everyone came running and saved Chip from certain death. That is when she got rid of him. I'm very glad because Rocky would be at least 5 feet long if he still lived here. I've got enough problems without being eating by a snake.
