An eastern hognose snake
I was only four, but he was my snake. The only thing I asked for for Christmas was a pet snake. That's all I wanted for months. I was only four, so I didn't take care of him all on my own, but I helped with all of his care and I was the only one to handle him. He loved my bright red Little Mermaid wig He didn't really have a name--I tended to only give animals and toys names because other people expected me to name things, so I just told people a different name every week.
Unfortunately, twenty years ago we didn't know not to use heat rocks and there was an accident. My mother got really sick one night while we were over at her friend's home and we couldn't make it home. The heat rock got left on over night and had a temperature spike that killed my snake. I didn't talk to my mother for over a month.
