Oh man, I'm getting AP Bio flashbacks. Ugh...

People already look strange at me when I say I have a turtle, so I can only imagine what reactions you get.

I thought this was amusing, mainly because you described behavior my turtle also possess, including the trying to eat my fingers. Maybe it is part of being a reptile...

I think this is such a fascinating topic to write about. Your writing is very clear and very concise, and I learned quite a bit which is always a plus.

Personally, I'm not all that fond of snakes, but the essay was very amusing. You seem like quite the pet-lover. So, that is one lucky snake!

I SO WANT A SNAKE...THEY ARE CUTE! (Except that a) it might eat my cats or b) the cats might eat it.

Great essay, I liked reading it.

I *love* snakes. They’re very tasty.

One of my favourite authors returns after months of absense, and you update about SNAKES?

Not some highly controversial, extremely liberal essay? But SNAKES?

Oh well. I'm sure it'll be a good read anyway.
