Pirate Hans got his name from a son of mine who was 3 years old at the time. No, it's probably not a good idea to let small children name your pets. My son must have had a thing for pirates back then so that part makes sense, but I don't know where he got Hans from.
Pirate Hans was a full-grown adult when I got him in 1999 and so I'm assuming he was born in 1995 or earlier. I know nothing of his origin. But as I write this text he could very likely be 30 years old by now.
Hans has always been a good snake who doesn't bite and we've enjoyed him over the years. In efforts to see if he and Jinx will breed recently I've noticed that I've never seen Hans and Jinx locked, so I assume he's to blame for that, maybe? In any case, he's here to stay and enjoy whatever years of life he has left.
