So, I was at the Half Shell last week and came across this guy with his pet boa snake (you can't miss something like that.) Anyways, I always have my camera with me of course so I nervously asked if I could have my picture taken with it. I don't know what I was thinking but I had to blog it of course so I could show you all. This snake was huge (no exaggeration), at least 50 lbs and taller than me.

I asked him if it could sense fear because I was freaked out of course. I wasn't ready to take a picture by myself with it so he agreed to hold it. I stood really still and asked Rachel to hurry and take the picture. It started to slither close to my neck and near my chest and the guy assured me it wasn't him but the snake. It was heavy and scaley and I wanted to get it off.

He eats live rabbits once a month. I asked all sorts of questions of course but don't remember the answers. Anyways, for those of you who are afraid of snakes, don't be. They are harmless.
