I love snakes !
They're remarkable creatures, living in direct contact with the earth and all.
At one point in my life I owned 6 that I kept in a terrarium.
3 cobras, two pytons and an unspecified one.
It seems I wasn't good at caring for them . . . wasn't feeding them properly.
So one day I rode and walked deep in a jungle . . . and set them all free !
Originally I had 7 but one cobra escaped from the basket where I kept him in.
A few days later I got words that some neighbors had discovered him in a kitchen, somewhere nearby.
They beat him to death right there.
I thought better not to say that it had escaped from me . . .

But I never ate one.
