I liked that story : )

And I think it's all true. Good to see people reconizing it and learning from it too. Pets bring so much love, even Snakes.

Not sure on the addition thing though. People are usually only addicted to one thing, and that's very spercific. It's not normally the case that people move onto another addiction that's unrelated to their first. So I don't think it's likely to work that way.
Saying that though, it's still possable.
But I think these people will have carers and/or social workers around them, so I'm sure something like that would be picked up and not alowed to get bad.

Either way, I still think it's great to see people seeing sense for a change : )

It would definitely get them out of bed that's for sure.

Its great to see snakes being used in a positive way but Im not sure introducing them to addicts is a good idea, yeah its good if it really helps but what happens if they then go out and buy their own snake then fall back off the wagon and become unable to care for their snake again
