"Ah, yes. Do have a seat. I've been expecting you. Would you care for a spot of tea? I fancy a nice Earl Grey myself, especially if it comes with a tea cake-- they're simply divine!" The dapper little snake grinned, eager to chat with you.
"I see you already have a pen and paper in hand, so I won't dawdle. Where shall we start? I'm afraid I can only go so far as to tell you about myself roughly 2 months after my hatching, but if its taxonomic literature that you're seeking, I would be delighted to share what I know with you. My name is Ukki, and I am a Royal Python, though over in the Americas, we're known as the "ball" python, though I much prefer our scientific name, Python regius. We have a tendency to curl up into a ball, you see, when we feel threatened to protect our most vital asset-- our brains! Most herpetologists believe we are dim-witted, but if that were so, then why is it that we're the only species to have figured out this tactic?
Now, as for why we earned the name of Royal Python, if I recall correctly, it comes from the belief that Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, kept one of us as a companion, who was said to adorn her wrist, much like a bracelet. Preposterous, you say? I think not, as there are places in this world that hold my kind in high regards. The Obosi peoples, for example, believe us to be a representative of their deity, Eke Idemili, and it is a sacrilege to kill us: should one do so, that person is often met with with disappointment from the whole community. That person is then responsible for buying a small coffin, a cloth, and performing burial rites, as if we were human.
I think its a marvelous idea, myself, but rather than being worshipped, I would prefer to be loved for who I am. I think we shall stop there tonight, hmm? Though, if you ever want to hear more, feel free. I can be especially chatty after I've had my afternoon tea, you know. Good day." The snake smiled and tipped his hat to you.
Dapper snake.
