“To be honest, I never thought I would own a snake, but he’s been the best pet for me.”
When his sister started asking questions about his pet corn snake, Spaghetti, Sean—who asked that his last name not be disclosed—had no idea what she was getting herself into.
Sean claimed to The Dodo, “She was asking how big or round is he, and I said, ‘About an inch or so.” When she asked me how long he was, I said, “Well, the last time I measured him, he was about 39 inches.”
Sean took in Spaghetti when his previous owner went to England almost four years ago.
“My former roommate used to own spaghetti,” Sean remarked. “He got [Spaghetti] from an old work colleague, and he tried to give him away on Facebook when my roommate had to move to England for his master’s degree, but no one would take him.” I promised to take care of the snake because I had lived with him for two years and I knew how to love and care for him.
Sean has been completely enmeshed in spaghetti ever since.
Sean remarked, “To be honest, I never thought I would own a snake, but he’s been the best pet for me.” He will wrap around my arm when I pick him up, then try to travel to my neck and finally the top of my head. He is a giant embrace in real life.
This year’s Christmas Day, Spaghetti received a unique sweater from Sean’s sister, which she had fashioned by crocheting yarn over a PVC pipe.
Sean remarked, “I think the sweater’s really cute.”
Spaghetti seemed to agree as well. Spaghetti gladly wriggled his way inside the sweater when Sean first showed it to him, according to Sean.
“He kind of parks it in there and waits right before he sticks his head out through the end,” Sean remarked. “Then, after a minute or two, he’ll stick his head out and take a moment to look around.”
Spaghetti’s Christmas sweater isn’t really a sweater, technically. Sean described it as “kind of like a sweater tube that he crawls through.” It’s funny, though, that he seems to enjoy remaining there.
Sean continued, “After he enters and sticks his head out the other side, he sits in there for about five to ten minutes.”
To show his sister, Sean snapped a few pictures of Spaghetti wearing his Christmas jumper. However, Sean’s photo went popular after he shared it on Reddit. Sean remarked, “That thing just blew up really quick, so it was a crazy Christmas.”
Sean hopes that Spaghetti’s sister will make another one. He remarked, “She might surprise me with another one.” “She might try a different pattern or something once she gets more proficient at crocheting.”
Whatever transpires, Sean believes Spaghetti will spend a lot of joyful hours cuddling within his sweater, and this Christmas present was a big hit.
