A friend of my sister-in-law has had a snake for some time. A strangler snake. Beaming, the friend tells that the animal is allowed to move freely in the house. Sometimes he crawls on the bed and stretches for a long time next to the girlfriend, who has been touched by so much snake love. She proudly tells this to her vet. He explains that that is not love. The snake is measuring whether it is long enough to swallow her.
