Normally, I'd actually go along with the above posting in principle--who's to say that she didn't just decide to get a snake like anyone else might--except that anytime a celebrity gets an unusual pet and makes a big deal out of it (even if this snake--and from this picture, it looks like something in the Pituophis line, does anyone know what it really is?--is really pretty mundane) it always seems to go badly for the animal. So I'm skeptical, especially because you'd think someone who cared about their pet and made a living as a reality TV star would want to say: "Yes, this a --- snake, he's not really dangerous, they make awesome pets, this is how I got into the hobby..." But maybe, just maybe, we'll be pleasantly surprised. Here's hoping.
