His favorite snake is the green anaconda (the largest of the boa constrictors.) He saved his own money to buy this 72 inch stuffed anaconda... His dream is that someday he will own a real anaconda for a pet. HA! Over my dead body!... or over his. Maybe I'm speaking literally... ever seen that show, "Fatal Attractions" on Animal Planet?..... moving along....
One day he set up this tennis ball to be attacked and eaten by a slithering rubber snake and caught it all on camera! Amazing footage! 
We went to a reptile show for a family night and he got to hold the skin of a snake. Anxiously he shouted out to the instructor, "This looks like a python of some sort... is it a python, maybe a Burmese Python?" The instructor said he was close... it was an African Rock Python.
He likes to include his "pets" in everything. He makes sure to bring them out each morning and carefully prop them up at the edge of the hallway. He wants to make sure they have a good seat so they can "watch" us having our family prayer and scripture study each day.

The best part of the reptile show was touching a real live snake! Yippeee!
I don't remember what kind this was but he could tell ya I'm sure.
... well I was right... I asked him if he remembered the name of this snake
and he said, "it's a rosy boa".
