Thanks for not puttin the ka-bash to him. Snakes get a real bad rep based on just a couple of the venomous ones found here in Indiana.
Kids got a "Mexican Milk Snake about 2 years ago. Was about the same size as a pencil. Now, "Pablo" is about 50" and thick as a garden hose. Ate 4 small feeder mice today. We have all learned a lot about snakes with this pet.
