My sister found a snake in their yard this last weekend. You can read about her story here. I was at my parents house when my mom got the text from her saying they'd found a snake in their yard and it brought up memories from when we had a pet snake. We started talking about good ol' Sussy and the stories we could remember about him. Even though I think mice are cute, it was pretty cool to watch the boa hunt and catch his prey every time we fed him. We eventually had to sell him because he got too big. This event and these memories got me thinking. Is there a type of animal you would never let your kids get as a pet? For us it was rodents. My mom was fine with rabbits but she said no to having rats or mice as pets. For me, tarantulas and scorpions really freak me out! I'm fine with all manner of reptiles and amphibians and I'd even allow a cat, even though I'm allergic. But my kids would have to swear upon pain of death that the huge spider would never leave their room before I'd agree to letting them have one. So what is it for you? What kind of pet would you have a hard time with or never ever allow in your home?
