Lucy, short for Lucifer. Snakes are fun, easy to care for and are chick magnets believe it or not. 

Well. Totally going for it with that last piece of info!
The only downside is the feeding. When I had my snake, I didn't live in a metropolitan area so I had to drive an hour every week or 10 days to get feed mice. If you have a place close, no big deal. Or you can raise your own, but that is a whole other bag of worms.
Easy enough here; in a city and quite a few pet stores in the area carry the right mice.

I see how there is an implied judgment on my part. That was a grave error.

Live feeding is illegal in the UK, unless the snake in question refuses all other food.

Good enough reasons, but making it illegal?! The nanny state is so bad they're coddling snakes?

I can't prove it, but believe the reptilian brain too primitive to comprehend concepts like "love".

I don't assume it, I merely included the possibility.

Because adders are venomous and no-one can ever find a grass snake?
