Yes, that's my daughter.  And yes, that is a snake.  In fact, she has two snakes, three hermit crabs, a tarantula, a parakeet, an albino frog, a dwarf hamster, a rabbit, and last but not least, a black lab.  And between the animals and home school, she stays pretty busy.  At least she's having fun.  And, let me add that she is VERY responsible.  She even gets up before I do to tend her animals.  I am very proud of her.

P.S.  I even held the snake.  TWICE!!
