The Sugar Hill Gang Lives and wants a Boa!!! “Next on the mic is my man Hank, c’mon Hank sing that song……”



Dang, I thought all this “Word to ya Motha and Dawg be my Nig…..” Was just about gone and no longer “Hip” anymore.

However, my “street training” will now attempt to translate Tom’s post into old fat guy talk, so that those of us who have no idea what Tom is saying can share in his excitment……



“my cuzs are sleeping ova they are both one is 19 other 21”

I have two friends over for the night, one young man is 19 the other is 21, so he can buy beer!



“they saw me holding my ball. he said my cuz is looking to get rid of his snake he says it is about 6 - 8 ft. i was like plz say a boa.”

I showed my pet Ball Python to them. One of the young men told me that he was looking to get rid of his pet snake because it is too big, about 6-8 feet long. I am hoping it is a Boa Constrictor of some sort.



“he say it has the same patern as my ball(normale pattern) i i wqas lik what does it eat he said rabbits i was like yes plz be a boa.”

My friend is not sure of what kind of snake it is and thinks it looks like my Ball Python. He feeds it rabbits so it is obviously too big to be a Ball Python. I am still hoping it to be a Boa Constrictor.



“he said he would give me evrything tank snake(dont no what it is maybe a boa or a bum plz be a bao) lights frozen food . dont know hom much yet. if i get it and boa are outlawd in ny im gunna flip out.”

My Friend said that he would sell me his entire set up for the snake, but has not decided on a price yet. I am still hoping it is a Boa Constrictor but it also may be a Burmese Python. I have heard that these animals may not be legal where I live so I will be very disappointed if I can not legally keep it.



“illl keep it posted hope its a bao help me pray”

I will keep you all updated on it, I am really excited about this and hope it turns out to be a Boa Constrictor because this is the snake that I really want. Wish me luck.



“thanks tom”

Thank you

Tom



Well Tom, now that we have deciphered your post into something us old people can understand. I am happy for you. I also hope that it is a Boa because you seem to really want one. However, if you are in the city limits of NY, then I am afraid that your new snake will not be legal to keep because they past the bill to ban exotic pets.

Good luck and if you need any information please do not be afraid to ask, but try to put your question in a form that most of us understand, it will make it easier to answer. And remember…



“….. Ever go over to a friends house to eat and food just ain’t no good! The potatoes are kinda mushy, the peas are soggy and the chicken taste like wood……”

Thanks for reading
