I am going to talk about what my two coolest things to ever come in my house. The first coolest thing is a snake named Dorkis. He was the first snake the family has ever had. We decided to get the second snake when our cat Duncan No Nuts ran away. Which comes to the second coolest thing, our snake Crystal Gayle. I asked why we named decided to name her Crystal Gayle they said and I quote “Because we are old.”

Now that I have told you what they are named it is time to tell you why owning a snake is a fun and rewarding experience for the whole family or even just you. Now the two snakes I own are both ball pythons, but both of them are called differently because their color. For example: Dorkis is called a pastel and Crystal is a butter. And that is the first reason you should have one. Some have cool names and also you could choose the colors, patterns, and the designs that best represent you and your new pet.

The second reason is there is all kinds of snakes to choose from like ones that get 10 ft long or ones that only get smaller than 2 ft long. The third reason is you should think about getting is a snake is the price to get one. Some can be cheap some can be expensive. For example: Dorkis was 65$ which isn’t bad because I have seen some go as much as 3000$. But that is nowhere close to what we paid for Crystal Gayle. She is a rare breed of ball python and we paid 260$ for her.

The fourth reason to get a slithering friend is practicing for a future job or hobby. The two reason my step-dad got one because he was terrified and wanted to face his fears. The other reason he got one is one day he hopes to become a herpetologist and work with snakes all day long. And now that he has two pet snakes he is addicted to having them and wants another one.

The only reason I would see not to get a snake is the eating habits. Unless you don’t want to see a cute baby mouse get eaten by a huge snake I would recommend not getting one at all. Another reason I would not recommend a snake is for lazy people that would not clean there box after they pooped and shed their skin everywhere. But me and my family got lucky that they barely poop and when they do shed they do it where it is not scattered all over the place.
