I understand the pet thing. I raised a Burmese Python from infancy. Finally got so big (9 feet) that I had to get rid of him. He trashed the house making his rounds. When he finally discovered the warm electric blanket, there was no shooing him off the bed so I had to sell him back to the pet shop. I do miss him...............sorta.
I don't think I would want rattlesnakes having the run of the house. Besides, they BITE! Monty didn't. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
