Kardasians get a pet snake

By Cindy Steinle · October 19, 2011 6:30 pm

Apparently Khloe and Kourtney needed something to stir up news when they were filming one of their reality shows in New York recently, so they bought a "giant" snake. Two questions: Why is this big enough news to generate several reports on my news searches, and why exactly are these girls famous?
"EW! [It's] not mine," Khloe, 27, told an observer, indicating that Kourtney, 32, would be taking care of the reptile. Sources tell Us Weekly the sisters brought the snake back to the Gansevoort Hotel, where the bellhop took it out of the car, placed it on a cart and carried it to their room. According to a witness, the snake "looked pretty big and vicious" and was "snapping at the glass!"
Just what the reptile community needs: Empty-headed owners using their snakes as a lifestyle accessory.

Oh my goodness great just wait till the media runs all this and the show hits the air. I feel for all the snakes that are doomed to empty headed owners wanting to be like the idiots they idolize on tv. I am lost as to how they have clibed to stardom they have no talent other than being anoying.

Wow people, You all sound like bigger drama queens than a teenage girl! "oh she got a snake, I hate her!" So the girl wanted to buy a snake, she wasn't asking for you or anybody else to care but for some reason you all seem to care a great deal.

This article was childish and petty. "Just what the reptile community needs: empty headed owners using their snakes as a lifestyle accessory."

Who said she was using it as a lifestyle accessory??? maybe she just wanted a snake like the way ALL of us felt at one time, which was what got us into the hobby to begin with. Grow up kids.

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.
