Creepy pet python story
I was having dinner with friends last night and someone told the following story about an acquaintance of hers.
So this acquaintance kept a pet python which she’d had since she was a teenager. She loved the snake and used to let it roam around the house and sleep in her bed and the like. Anyway, at some point she realised that all was not well with the snake. It was off it’s food and just acting strangely so of course she takes her pet to the vets. The vet examines the snake and is a bit baffled to begin with, then suddenly stops what he’s doing and asks the girl if she has noticed anything different in the way the snake sleeps.
“Yes”, says the girl, “He used to sleep all curled up in a coil at the end of the bed but now he sleeps beside me lying out straight”. “I’m sorry”, says the vet. “I’m going to have have to ask you to wait outside while I put your snake to sleep”. “To sleep? you mean kill my snake? Why? What’s wrong with it?”. “Nothings wrong with it”. Said the vet. “It’s doing what snakes do, and at the moment it’s sizing you up as it’s next meal, just waiting till it’s big enough to eat you, which could be any day now.”
