Yes! It was a blonde python down in New Orleans.

Never thought I would?🤔
Anything in my path could be subject to investigation.🤓😆 Snakes, scorpions, lizards. If it has fur or feathers, it may be entitled to treats and affection.😸🤗
My last words will be something along the lines of, "Here Kitty, Kitty..." 😂

Nothing that I never thought I would. I've touched snakes but I'm fine with snakes. Nothing really rare apart from that. Maybe a rat, my friend had a pet rat.

I used to work in the fish and reptile section of a pet store, also I was the one who took animals to children's birthdays cause I had a car... So I've bonded with snakes and chameleon's, blue tongue skinks, and all kinds of lizards and tortus's and when going to the birthday parties I took furry friends along too!

I've owned an albino corn snake as my first snake, then I got a Hog Island Boa which is a type of dwarf sized boa constrictor that only get's up to 5-7 feet in size, then we got a common boa that grew to about 7+ feet she was a good snake but my daughters boyfriend fed her a wild mouse that the cat dragged in and within days she passed. We also had a rainbow boa which was the most beautiful snake that we had from a tiny tynee baby until adult hood.... Then she just stopped eating and withered away... She needed a simple plastic box enclosure that retained moisture.

A couple of weeks ago I kissed a red Macaw parrot in Peurto Vallarta, I was surprised that it's tongue was warm and dry!
I've rode an Elephant, I've pet a Cheetah, hmmm tiny tynee frogs smaller than regular frog tadpols, My sister used to find them, I've never seen such small full grown frogs that small, she'd always find neat animals near our Grandparents farm! Toads, some crab looking spider I've never seen before or since, looked very poisonous so I didn't actually touch it!

WOW
