Okay, fine, so we're also scared of snakes, and for the most part, we don't think that they are that cute. Like, snakes wearing hats? Adorable. But in most other scenarios - scary. This snake though - Harker - has won our hearts and souls. Oh my goodness, we have never seen a snake this cute.
Animals with cute habits like that just get to us. Whether it's the scary 'ninja' cat who's obsessed with its tiny almond or the adorable gecko who likes to spoon paper towels. Yes, paper towels and spooning, you read that right. And now this, Harker, coming for our hearts because… he's afraid of staplers. Not just one stapler. Multiple staplers. And his saga with the staplers is incredible. We're convinced now, Harker, snakes can indeed be so, so, so cute.
For the most part, we have a tendency to scroll past snake posts like this. It's instinct, we can't help it. But Harker caught our eye right away. We had to pause. Even in this first picture, without reading the caption, we thought: "oh, this snake… is kinda cute." That face - it won us over instantly.
And then, we started reading the actual thread and found ourselves awwing and smiling. We could see why some people would think snakes looked cute, but we never really understood why someone would want one as a pet. Until now. We didn't know snakes could have habits as cute as this one, or… any habits at all really. We might consider getting one now. Because of Harker.
