Somewhere around 40 years ago, one of my classmates brought a very small greyish snake to school. When all was said and done, she didn't want it, and I did. I can't remember how long I had it, and to this day, I don't know what kind of snake it was, but probably a rough earth snake or ground snake. A few years later, and many horny toads (Texas Horned Lizards) and box turtles later, I caught a ringneck snake. I kept it in a fishbowl, covered with screen, in my bedroom. One evening, while watching television with my parents, movement in the carpet caught my eye. I got up, picked up my snake, and put it back in its fishbowl. It got evicted that night, and I was no longer allowed to keep snakes in the house. I did have a few other snakes through the years, but they always had to stay outside. Horny toads, on the other hand, were allowed to come in. Now that I have my own place, there's always reptiles in the house! Currently, 4 lizards and 21 Ball Pythons.
