I've loved snakes my whole life but parents always said no... now I'm 18 and have a job I have my snake, I got him last year. I had him flown down from a few states away and since then my life has changed.

I think about him all the time... I'll talk about him to anyone that listens and try to keep a photo of him handy, whether it be on my phone, in my wallet or in my planner. My Facebook photo is myself and him.

I sit down of an evening and watch TV with him... I talk to him, I've made him so many lovely things (a log perch, his enclosure and a heat-pack). I get chills when he cuddles into me... he's so tame I pat his petite head and he leans in, "enjoying" it.

If it came to it I'd give up everything for him and I'm getting a tattoo of his image. Recently I got another snake and I always compare him to my original... this new snake feels like an intruding stranger.

I have a boyfriend, a job (working with cats... eugh), solid family relations, friends and I'm completing secondary and already starting tertiary education. I am socially functionable (I have social anxiety - medicated) but some days I'd do anything just to cuddle up with my snake all day... sigh.

    This is normal if your snake is a horcrux and you're He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

    I love my snakes to. They mean everything to me and they always cheer me up. I talk to them and cuddle them and I love their cute little faces and when they give me little kisses. I love them more than anything and i would do anything for my babies. They're the best!!!
