Pick your vice: sex, drugs, booze, gambling, cruelty, crime, greed, deception, hatred, pride, vanity--there are others. You feed one and it gives you great pleasure. Feed it again and the desire grows; you feed it some more. Things seem under control until you run low on food. Then you think of ways to feed your vice; it usually involves another vice, another snake to feed.
Before you know it, a hungry boa has you by the throat and it won't let go. You'll do anything to feed it so it will loosen its grip. You are forced to indulge more vices like selling drugs, stolen merchandise, or your body and soul. No matter how much you feed it, the boa won't let you go and you've got snakes all over the place being fed by your family, your friends--anyone or anything you could use to feed your pet vice.
Perhaps you'll get lucky and escape its death grip and will be wise enough to answer the question, "What's wrong with the odd vice?--we only live once, after all. Then again, you might succumb to its grip and die in a gutter.
Until then, you'll continue playing with baby snakes, not realizing what they'll grow up to be until it's too late

... still plan on getting one when I get older, though...
