B
Many people have their pets, such as dogs, cats and so on. Ma Kexin has some special pets. She has two cats, a mouse and a snake.
Ma has been keeping a black snake named Shejiang for some years. Now, the snake has grown as long as her arm. Ma isn't afraid of the snake. Instead, she thinks it's cute and shy. Shejiang often hides in a coconut shell(椰子壳) and comes out when it feels hungry.
Ma feeds Shejiang two baby mice she buys from a pet food store each week. To make the meat stay fresh, she keeps the mice in the fridge and takes them out two hours before feeding Shejiang.
Shejiang's home is a big glass tank(缸). With a lid(盖子) on, it's a safe place for the snake to hide from the cats. Ma puts a water basin(盆) in for its drinking and slough. So far, Ma has collected about eight snake sloughs. Also, there's soft and dry bedding at the bottom to make it feel safe and comfortable.
For Ma, the cold-blooded animal can be warm. Sometimes she does her homework till very late. The snake keeps her company as it quietly watches her from its hiding place.
Ma thinks the key to keeping a snake is to respect it. Although it's your pet, you shouldn't disturb it too much.
