An ordinary day in New York City.

I got to cuddle the cutest, sweetest snake today. She was some sort of python, but I didn't get the species name. I just made a beeline as soon as her handler started his busking routine of offering people the chance to get a photo taken with a big snake, and took him up on the second part. She'd been moving around a lot, and I held my arms steady and close to my body, giving her something to wrap around and grip tightly, and she went calm.

I ended up giving the guy some money anyway.

I'm well aware the snake shouldn't have been out on a busy corner of 14th street to begin with. But I couldn't help it. She was such a sweetheart, and I was so happy to have her treat me like a tree.
