unusual
pet -- a snake called Cecil. Cecil was a small black
snake less than one meter in
length. Some people were a little
afraid of Cecil
because his fangs looked
threatening. However, he was a harmless creature
that did not bite.
He was an extremely friendly creature and would
even allow
strangers to touch and pet him. If you
put your hand
out, Cecil would even slither
up your arm and coil
around your
hand. Cecil's skin felt cool, dry and
not
at all slimy.
Cecil's home was a large green tank. To make him
feel more
comfortable, the tank was laden
with his
favourite branches and leaves. Surprisingly, Cecil
needed/required
very little nourishment and he would eat an
average of only
once a month. His favourite foods were lizards and
live insects like
beetles and flies.
Unfortunately for
Cecil, his life was cut
short unexpectedly. One very hot
afternoon, Cecil took
a nap in the sun. When his owner found him later
in the evening,
she discovered that he had died
from heatstroke !
