Sunday 11th May, 2008 (IANS)

Former Guns 'N Roses guitarist Slash gave up his collection of 80 pet snakes because he felt they may prove dangerous for his son.

Slash mostly had deadly pythons and boas at home, but realised that it would be unsafe if one of them got into his son's room. He is now relieved to give them away, contactmusic.com reports.

He said: 'Feeding them all by myself had become a bit of a job. I missed the old days when it was just a matter of finding a couple of dead rats around the corner.'
