I am thinking about getting a pet snake!  Have you ever owned one?
I don't own one, but I wrote a paper about them once. Something about their long legless bodies freaks me out.
Yeah, a lot of people are that way.  Have you ever handled or pet one though?
I pet some snakes at a travelling zoo show once. I remember feeling their vestigal claws by their cloaca - it was gross.
Um...I have no idea what the vestigal claw is.  Please enlighten me.
At one time, snakes likely had legs and claws, but they lost them over thousands of years. Now there are just tiny leftovers toward their rear.. 
Interesting.  I never knew that.  Is there any other cool facts you know about snakes.  It makes me want them even more!
Hahaha. Well, I know that they have all kinds of joints in their jaws. Mostly so they can open up and swallow much larger prey.
Yeah.  That is the only thing that is a little hard about owning one.  I heard you have to feed them live mice.
Well, technically you could feed them other animals. They live on every continent except Antarctica, so they adapted to eat all kinds of different prey.
