Luka loves snakes. He asked Santa for one for Christmas. He got a rubber snake for Christmas, but for his birthday he & his friends got to hold 2 snakes, a gecko and a bearded dragon. A bit different from how Gavin was taught about snakes as a child. His dad dug a deep hole in the ground & threw poisonous snakes found in the bush in it. His dad taught him to recognize each one, then cut their heads off. Safe to say that Luka will not encounter too many snakes in the wild in LA – although I have taught him about rattlesnakes.
