I need a pet

I have decided I really miss the big guy.   I need a pet to call my own.  I think I need a python
They intrigue me.  I have never met a snake.  Kind of reminds me of a rawhide chew.  Imagine the fun I could have with something like that.  The colors are really cool.  And they don't shed.

Mom says, "Absolutely not, Buster.  It would eat you.  You are about the right size for a weekly lunch."
Dad says, "Why don't you get a Hamster in a ball."


I guess I'm back to the drawing board.  Oh sadness.....
