you eather love them or hate them but lots of people dont under stand that are loveble pets when small but they do grow quite fast and need lots of care they dont under stand that they stay wild and eat other animals from small mice to a fall grown rabbit as they grow bigger most pet shops will sell you them as little six inch snakes but please look into witch type your going to buy as some can grow up to twenty feet long.and can live up to twenty to thirty years. this has ment that alot of owners turned them lose thinking they cant look after them they will be able to look after them selfs and find food. this is not only crawl to the snake as they need heat.But also on the other animals they mite come across
