| noticed that snakes have become more popular aswell, although not always a good thing as you get some being mistreated or not being looked after properly, but for the most of us its always a good thing!! |

| How refreshing to hear someone highlight what we all love about these guys. Instead of slating them and increasing peoples fear of them.... |

| The comment about one of the snakes having the ability to eat simon cowells head will make snake keepers seem more like 'normal' people as well now. New respect from non-snake owners for that comment alone. |
