ahaha my mum hates it when i do that
and kids my age think i am retarted, because i keep and like reptiles

:? I'm lucky, my friends think it's awesome and they all want a snake! In fact, just having a snake has made me like 10 times as popular weird how it can be the other way round with some people. I'm also lucky enough to never meet someone who would want to kill my snake. Some adults think I'm a bit crazy, but they are curious and always want to see my spotted python! And I've got a list of kids my age who want to be the first to see my gecko when I get it! I think there's about 12 on that list so far?
