Well, since I have asthma and am allergic to anything with fur my choices are limited in the way of pets. So I ended up getting an Albino Burmese Python that I had for a year or so. After I found out what the fine was for possessing one of these snakes I got rid of it pretty damn fast. I think the fine was $10 000 and up to a few years in jail or something. But they are pretty cool pets IMO.
