I was a very nature-loving little girl, with one rule - the fewer the legs, the better. Insects are better than spiders, animals (mammals) are better than insects, (the two legged ones are the exceptions, since humans and birds aren't always better than animals), and snakes are better than them all. I had two 6' long rubber pythons, as well as 8 little rubber garter snakes. The smaller ones use to come to summer camp with me.
