ahaha, yeah, wildlife professionals are so impressive :0 i imagine your went through a lot of training and studying to be able to keep so many different (and dangerous!) animals.<3
but but ; ; rodents can be pesty, unless they're domesticated...they're actually very sweet, intelligent, social animals. so i don't like to imagine snakes eating rats n mice n stuff whole ;D; but you're right, it's necessary. that's nature for you, bittersweet n everything.
n____________n that snake looks very kind-hearted and like something i could give kisses to. my friend used to have a snake named Oreo, maybe you'd know what kind it is; it just had thick black and white stripes. well, dark brown instead of black, maybe. it was fairly big, i want to say around 3 to 4 feet in length. but it was very passive and nice. yeah, people are quick to see anything alien to them as threatening, especially when the media portrays them as mean and scary creatures. it's disappointing ;^;
