who was strangled in his sleep by his pet, because the python crawled into the bed for warmth.
He said that some people "freak out" when they walk into the room and see Killer Dude, who weighs about 25 pounds, but that his roommates and everybody else in the house didn't mind sharing space with the serpent.
He said the snake wasn't big enough to hurt anybody in the house. However, he said, Killer Dude probably could seriously injure a small child.
Killer Dude's meals consist of guinea pigs, Pope said. He buys the guinea pigs from pet stores and they cost about $5 each, he said. Some pet stores won't sell them to him if they know he is using them for snake food.
Killer Dude does not have a regular feeding pattern, Pope said, but it's usually hungry every three weeks.
Pope said he thought of his pet's name while watching the snake eat.
snake cat.
"He looked satanic, like a killer." he said.
The other half of the name was contributed by a friend who uttered the word "dude" quite often.
Pope bought Killer Dude at a pet store in Overland Park for $65. He said it was a steal because they usually sell for about $120.
Dare Worthy, owner of Little Pal Pet Shop, 1601. 23rd St., said that snakes were popular pets because they were different from the norm, but they were not the only choice.
Tarantulas also are a popular choice.
She said her store sells two kinds of tarantulas: Mexican
Red Leg and Blonde, sometimes called Palamino.
The red tarantulas cost $29.95 and the blonde costs $24.95. Worthy said. Many of the tarantulas she sells, she said, are sold to KU students.
"We sold 18 this month," she said.
None of the tarantulas she sells are poisonous, Worthy said. She said that although no law prohibited the sale of harmful pets, most pet stores didn't sell harmful pets.
However, she said that the spider possesses a venom and that people had different levels of susceptibility to the venom.
About 98 percent of the tarantulas are sold to males or for males. Worthy said.
"If a girl buys one, she's buying it for her boyfriend," she said.
McEllheney, Lawrence resident, bought a tarantula last week, he said, because it is different.
"Not too many people have them." he said.
McElhenney bought the spider from Little Pal Pet Shop for $15 and feeds it baby mice. He said he planned to buy a male and female mouse for his food source.
that way I have never once every two weeks," he said. He said he kept Jaws, the tarantula, in a 10-gallon aquarium, which is complete with miniature western scenery.
source. "That way I'll have fresh baby mice every two weeks," he said.
The tarantula's name comes from his eating habit.
McElleney said he bought the spider because of the minimal care it required.
he said.
McEhlenney's landlord won't allow him to have pets, he said, but the tarantula didn't create any problems.
"I like the ones that don't bark and you don't have to take out."
"There's no meowing and no barking."
Because of the spider's attitude, McElheney said, he has not taken the tarantula from its cage. He said Jaws had tried to bite him the first and only time he tried to handle it.
However, he said, he probably will try to handle him soon.
McEilhenn said Jaws was about 4 inches long and $2 \frac{1}{2}$ inches wide. He also said that his friends liked Jaws but that he
was not sure how much the glass that separated the spider from the viewer had to do with that.
Tony Rivetto, Chicago junior,
said he had bought a pet ferret
from a friend because his roommate didn't like cats.
Rivotto said he fed the ferret, Ferrari, cat food.
Another alternative to the commonplace household pet is the ferret.
"But she also likes chocolate and macaroni and cheese," he said.
everything."
Rivotto said Ferrari was as playful as a cat.
He said that Ferrari was not litter-box trained, but that it used paper in one corner of a room
"She's hilarious to watch," he said, "and she gets into
Rivetto said he had owned Ferrari for about a month. Many of his friends come over to play with it, he said.
he said he bathed Ferrari once a week in a sink, but the pet didn't like the ritual.
Pope, Rivotto and McEheney all said they enjoyed their pets, mainly because they differed from the norm.
"Some people think it's weird," McElheney said, "but I've wanted a tarantula all 'by life'."
