While we were in Carbondale, IL, visiting Adam, we met one of his roommates- Klaus, who is, as the pictures indicate, is a Boa Constrictor. Susan has a pathological fear of snakes, and I have a pathological fear of what Adam feeds Klaus- rats. I HATE rats…. Still, Klaus was kind of cute, in a reptilian sort of way.
Here’s an interesting thing about snakes that you might not have realized (I certainly could have lived without knowing this): when snakes defecate, the smell will clear a room. Try that one out the next time you have friends over for dinner, eh?
