Andrew Robichaud — July 7, 2009 — Lifestyle
Some people love dogs, cats, hamsters or even birds, but it is not often that you get the chance to see a 2 bedroom apartment inhabited by a husband, his wife and their 13 pet snakes (yes, that says 13).
Pierre and Sapna Rizk, originally from Lebanon, own 13 pet snakes which they take care of like they were their own children.
The snakes have been purchased from all over the world from places such as Thailand, Sri Lanka and Arizona. The largest snake is a python that weighs around 90 pounds and is 13 feet long. Wow! Let’s hope those snakes stay loyal to their parents!
