    Little girls and their snakes

    Here's a couple pictures of my daughter holding Spur. She's grown to love the snakes and I have to constantly watch her to make sure she's not trying to take them out on her own. It's a good thing all my cages have locking mechanisms. She's 21months old in these pictures. Feel free to add...
