Want a change in a few years. In the sixties, you could order up and elephant from Charles Chase, if you had the money. When I worked at Hermosa, I brought home a Tyra(sp) which was a 3, 4 foot long weasel from south America. It was more a bag of fun.

Actually, my parents did not like, one hated snakes. In SoCal you could keep snakes in the garage, So I was allowed that. Then one day my dad tossed the cages out in the yard and told me to get rid of them, third grade I believe. It got dark and I stayed out there with the snakes. Later that night he asked if I was coming in, I said, only if I get to keep the snakes, hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I guess he figured out, I was serious. I was.
