On Saturday I had a wonderful opportunity to interact with some fascinating reptiles at the Tortoise and Reptile Show at the Veterans' Hall in downtown San Luis Obispo. Fellow Feline Network volunteer Claudia Coleman and I got to pet alligators, admire the astonishing colors of a leopard gecko, see some amazing tortoises, and drape ourselves in the colorful convolutions of a variety of snakes.
I've loved snakes all my life--one of my favorite photos shows me in Bangkok with a boa constrictor around my neck. The only reason I've never owned one is that my affection for snakes is matched by my fondness for mice, which seem to be at the top of a pet snake's dietary requirements. But it was great fun wearing the snakes like exotic pieces of apparel as they curled and corkscrewed in so many pretzel shapes. Claudia and I even found serpents to match our hair color!
