Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for May 11, 2021

I figured Broomie could speak parseltongue.

But he’s so cuddly!

You could call her Nagini. Or if it’s male, Kaa!

If it’s neither, call it “they, them”!!

Must’ve taken a lot of patience to draw in all those scales on that snake.

Don’t accept any apples from him, Broomie!

Why did it have to be snakes?

But Bromie. This pet is like the perfect hugger ♡!

To late….. the snake ate them.

A relative had a pet boa constrictor, I agreed to take care of it while he was on vacation. He kept it in an aquarium that had a piece of plywood with a large rock on top. He thoughtfully told me that if the snake was hungry I would see it moving around and if it got really hungry it could get out of its home. Since the snake would only eat living things, if I saw it moving around I was supposed to feed it one of the cute little rats he raised There was a log in the aquarium and I assumed it was resting behind that because, thank goodness, I never saw it.

Look out, Broomie! https://www.gocomics.com/closetohome/2021/05/11?ct=v&cti=45054&comments=visible#comments

even the sharks and crocodile know that Broomie doesn’t taste good anyway.

Well, that’s only moderately terrifying.

“…and I don’t like it…one bit!”

The snake doesn’t look like it wants an owner, as much as it wants dinner.

I think the snake is thinking the same thing.

Its only a baby. Wait till its full grown.

The snake looks like the love child of a python and a rattlesnake.

Hahahaha!

But she [?] likes you, Broomie! What more could you want than a cuddly, affectionate pet?
