not currently but have kept various assorted lizards and snakes in the past - even bred snakes 
the little babies are soooooooooo cute when they hatch...
baby sat for 2 Burmese pythons for a while - the smallest was 15 foot long

No, but dont expect serious when you ask a question like that !
Somevody on here has Snakes, cant remember their name but they take it quite well when I suggest they like Heavy Metal, Cider, Roll ups and live in a small provincial town.

Caustic, back stabbing bitch-fest with a few sly sneers and sniggers on the side would be more accurate.

No **** but back in India,My granddad had a monkey as a pet
That monkey used to bring him a cup of tea every morning
When I was in India,we even kept tiger cubs until they grew up a bit.My father was a forest Officer.Hence he used to bring little orphan stray animals to our house sometimes before they were strong enough to go to the zoo or sanctuary.I loved the deer we had as pets.Tiger cubs were the best!
Now here in the UK, I have a British cat and some tropical fish of Carribean origin.

Girlfriend (D.K.1 on here) has a Royal Python
Its pretty good, and eats really well, considering most of them have a lot of problems eating
It will soon be moving to mine, and we need to get a new bigger Viv for it now
Looking at getting a Chamelon too if possible, but bit concerned that they only live 5 years ,or at least only the male or female one does (cant remember which off the top of my head)
Ive always been wary of snakes, but Prince (Royal Python) is pretty good, and is fairly timid too

if you are looking for some advice or info these are the busiest forums ive found . no doubt there will be others .
i have
4 adult fire belly toads ,
9 toadlets .
1 male praying mantis
3 stick insects + about 25 eggs
also got loads of crickets and locusts as live food . just managed to get my locusts to breed so got little tiny locusts hopping about too .
all these are in little tanks obviously and are pretty easy to keep .
been thinking of getting a beardie or gecko but need to make some space for them first .
i know of a guy selling baby firebelly toads if your interested
