A snake I own

I own a snake
That you know too
I won't disclose type
Either would I measure
I own that creature
I hope you understand
I don't worry anymore
That snake is mine
I can share with you
But please I can't know

The size is hidden
No one knows
Only me and those lucky
My snake is mine
Maybe I can lead you
But please do listen
When I speak you
Stay alert and wise
I own that snake

Colour does not matter
So does the size and length
That snake is mine
Believe me when I tell you
I own that creature,
In my house it's safe
I'm jealous and protective
Don't blame me
My feelings are attached
Like gold It's shines
Only in my eyes
That snake is mine
Trust me I know.
