Why do these things never happen to me?

[Catherine]

I always used to wake up to hamsters on the bed. I have no hamsters now. Somehow the corn snakes are not interested in getting into  bed with me. I have had one come and visit me while I am busy on my  computer.

I think the different names are common in different locations. No one here calls them royal pythons. They are always called ball pythons. I have never heard them called African Pythons, but it is true if a little less specific than ball python.

I would love to know where the snake came from.
