In our world, we come across individuals with a wide array of passions and interests, and who are we to pass judgment? Certain people hold passions that may seem unconventional to others, but that’s what makes individuality so beautiful. Even in terms of having pets, some people have very peculiar tastes, just like our OP u/xwing382, a 16-year-old with a fascinating and distinct passion for snakes! Since early childhood, OP has been enchanted by these slithering creatures.
Now as per the story, OP is cultivating a small collection of his own, comprising two adult female pythons and a baby corn snake. Currently residing with his father, OP’s cherished snakes are housed securely in enclosures within the family room. However, an unexpected turn arises in this tale of snake adoration.

Thus she demands the snakes to be removed from the house before she moves in with OP and his father in their house.
