MARY SHELLEY

PET BOA CONSTRICTOR

English romantic novelist and author of the classic Frankenstein, Mary Shelley (1797–1851) had a pet boa constrictor who was her writing companion. Allegedly, Shelley wrote with her companion around her shoulders and let the snake’s squeezes dictate when to keep working or stop. Her fondness for snakes even found its way into her writing: in her Rambles in Germany and Italy in 1840, 1842 and 1843, her last published work, she described the weather as “rain[ing] boa-constrictors.”
