Visiting Snakes at the Portie's House (ugghhh)!

Before I tell you this story, you need to know about my neighbor.
First of all, he has a whole bunch of animals. And I mean a bunch. I'm talking about horses, sheep, goats, birds, these wierd animals that walk around that look like some kind of dear, and snakes. Boa snakes. Plus, a corn snake which I'm about to tell you about.
Okay, Lauren, my sister, my cousins, Madison, Macy, and Jessica, and I went to go see some animals like--- goats and horses and stuff right.....? WRONG! Everyone was voting to go see the snakes!
So, our neighbor, (Brother Portie-Mr. Portie- whatever you want to call him) brings out the super long corn snake, with a really bright orange color. At that moment, everyone took a step away except Lauren. Everyone that knows about Lauren must know she loves animals--- apparently snakes too.
Anyway, Brother Portie promised not to let go of the snake, seeing everyone was scared. But right when we took a step, what do you know!? HE LET GO OF THE SNAKE! Then, hepicked it back up, and said, "He's only bitten once in his life. Even if he did bite, it would only leave a few small blood spots."
Suddenly, the snake bit him like, five times in a row! Whats up with that? But, he did tell the truth about how it only left a few small blood spots but still! It freaked out everyone except, of course,---- Lauren!
I promised myself since then, never to hold one of Brother Portie's snakes. Ever.
