So, what am I missing here?

You got a snake? WOW! What kind? Male or female? What's his/her name? Do you take it for a walk?

I kept some snakes for pets when I was a kid. Seriously. Just garter snakes, little copperbellies, like that. Useta catch them ourselves- easy to do in the spring. Took a couple to school with me once inside my shirt- around the 2nd grade. Teacher saw them and ran out of the room screaming. That would be a "him" type of teacher too.

Ah, memories.....
