i have a pet snake.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Lizards have evolved elongate bodies without limbs or with greatly reduced limbs about twenty five times indepenently via convergent evolution, leading to many lineages of legless lizards. Legless lizards resemble snakes, but several common groups of legless lizards have eyelids and external ears, which snakes lack, although this rule is not universal (see Amphisbaenia, Dibamidae, and Pygopodidae). Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land masses; exceptions include some large islands, such as Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, the Hawaiian archipelago, and the islands of New Zealand, and many small islands of the Atlantic and central Pacific oceans.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I'm thinking about getting a pet snake and I'm trying to do some research first. Do you know much about snakes?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I know a little bit about them, yeah!

Do you know which kind of snake is best as a pet?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah definitely! I would say a corn snake.

Do you know what they eat?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well you want small prey, because they like to constrict. Small mice, lizards, the occasional frog, all good choices!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Great thanks! What else should I know about snakes before I choose one as a pet?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "You will be known as \"that snake person,\" so you better be prepared to answer the same questions every single time you bring them up, lol."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Well, I guess that's better than a crazy cat lady! Ha! What type of habitat would I need for my snake?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Aw, I'm sure you're not romance-challenged like that! My advice would be to get an appropriately sized terrarium. Sand, rocks, etc."}]
