It liked to sleep under his bed. It was an odd one too, liked most people actually. And yes I am alex's daughter! Living with him has always been an interesting experience in and of itself. The snakes were always interesting and sometimes the other things were even weirder (baby tarantulas as pets for your 6 year old, good idea). It was always fun at least.

I didn't know he had kids! And was there or was there not an alligator just walking around. @Nicole: You aren’t Alex’s daughter are you? I didn’t know he had kids!

You come to learn to avoid any animal in a cage very, very quickly and learn to endure your father's introduction of his python to your bed because "he wanted to meet you!". The cobra was at least a nice little thing. The copperhead was the real evil snake; he actually attempted to get out of his cage numerous times.

I still am. But if I had had someone hold me up to a cobra in a glass box and the cobra struck out at me, I'd have been traumatized too. Probably enough to stop being fascinated with snakes. Probably more than enough to want them all made into some chic accessory. As a kid I was a bit too fascinated with snakes, mostly because of the patterns of colour on their skins. I still am.

Go on, I'll wait while you queue up the DVD. If you watch the first Indiana Jones movie you can see, when he falls into the pit of snakes, the cobra spit on the glass between him and the cobra.

Some snakes make pretty cool pets. I should note that I am the daughter of a zookeeper so I have literally grown up eating breakfast with them in my lap*. I'm kind of use to them by now. * Its not a scary as it sounds. The snake was in a snake bag and he was a docent snake...besides, it was winter and he was cold! Someone had to keep the little (OK big) bugger warm! Also- Shhh, don't tell my mother but the snake skin shoes are pretty fab! OK, I’m going to have to agree with Plumcake’s brother on this one.

Once the snake has...ahem..shuffled off this mortal coil, of course... @gemdiva well let’s be honest here…if the snake will go around your waist with a little left over, you just add a buckle and you’ve got tourself a snazzy belt.

I didn't know Alex was doing neurotoxin research, I just though he was, you know, a creepy dude with snakes. Not that they're mutually exclusive! Love you too, Kiddio! @Plum-kin, Ladies and gentleman, my brother! I didn’t know Alex was doing neurotoxin research, I just though he was, you know, a creepy dude with snakes.

Alex, (our fathers bff) was not just a herpatologist though. The reason he had the cobra, along with the plethora of other nasty, extremely venemous critters, was that he was at NIH doing neurotoxin research for alzheimers and such. Snake skin make pretty cool fashion items. As the bleeding heart animal lover I am, I must say MOST (non-venomous) snakes make great pets!!! But, I'll still let you turn my python into a belt once she passes. Love you Sis! How could one ever forget your encounter with “Cathy”? Alex, (our fathers bff) was not just a herpatologist though.
