I just wanna snake love to you

So I heard a good story over the weekend.

This woman had a boa for a pet, which she let roam around her house. Apparently the boa stopped eating and the woman wasn’t too sure why, so she took it to the vet. She was told not to worry, as boas don’t eat very much and it seemed in good health, but to come back if it continued to fast. It did – refusing all food she offered it. So she went back to the vet, who examined the boa again and was perplexed – it seemed perfectly healthy. The vet then asked if there were any behavioural changes. The owner said not really, other than the boa used to sleep curled up at the end of the bed, but now slept right next to her, perfectly stretched out, like a ruler, which was rather affectionate she thought. Errr, not so, explained the vet, as the fasting boa was in fact measuring itself against her - to see if she was small enough to eat.

EEK!
