I have a zoo at my house. I own two albino Burmese pythond, two boa constrictors, two cornsnakes, and two kingsnakes. Most of these guys are rescues animals. Tell me about your zoo...does it include those of the reptilian persuasion?

Oh my goodenss, did you just find the right person. At one time I a pair of red tails, a rainbow boa, a rock python (he was a bit pissy), an indigo snake, a milk snake, and a california king snake. If it wasn't illegal to own one here, I'd get a black tailed rattlesnake--they're gorgeous. Snakes are such awesome creatures. I love everything about them.

What does an indigo snake look like?

They are close relatives of the king and milk snakes, so picture that basic head and body structure, but with an iridescent coloration on their scales. They look like they're a bluish-black, but their scales change colors in the light. it's really cool. And they're by far the most docile snakes you'll ever handle. Even more so than Ball pythons.

I like snakes and I've always wanted to have one as a pet. Alas, I have cats and something tells me they wouldn't get along too well. That and the human occupants of this house are more apt to scream and call animal control if they see a snake than if they see a rabid dog. Go figure.

I wouldn't see the problem of haveing cats and snakes. my cat actually sits on top of the snake cages and just watches them. She'll stay up there for hours if i let her.

Pythons are tempermental creatures, eh. Still they are quite beautiful too. Bearded dragons are just plain adorable.

I have a little zoo but more like a barnyard for my pet bunny. But snake...no, no way will I ever have one. Just the thought of snake makes my skin crawl.

If you would like to see pics of my animals, I am on myspace.com. My email is Ace1684@yahoo.com. That should make it easier to find me on there.

To edit that... as well as my corn snakes, my zoo includes snakes, beardies, chameleons, geckos, scorpions, uromastyx, and the collection is constantly growing.

I would never want to own any snakes. I am not very fond of them. I was a Forester for years and saw my feel of snakes. They were always very agressive and I even got bit by a king snake, granted I was standing on it while it was coiled, but still it bit me. My brother loves snakes and he use to have a few in his apartment. I had a roommate who also loved them but I told him they could not stay in the house. they scare me way too much. I just have dogs, birds, cats, hamsters, bunny rabbits.

I love snakes. I think they are beautiful graceful creatures. I couldn't own one, though. It's just my opinion, but it saddens me to see wild animals caged. At one time, I had an iguana, but we set it free in Florida.

I have a zoo, it's just not quite that large. I have a ball python, many fishies, and a dog.
