Why A Quarter?
Placing a quarter beside one's snake when taking a photograph seems to be a particularly American folk custom. It is a way of telling others that, after buying a corn snake, a ten-gallon aquarium tank, Four-Paws tank cover, substrate, water bowl, artificial tree branch, plastic hide, temperature and humidity gauges, lamp (optional), and Bill and Kathy Love's book, they too are down to the last quater in their bank account and are as broke as the rest of us.
