There is a Chinese saying that  a Snake in the house is a good omen.

This is because the snake will not let his family stave because he is such a great mediator, making him a good at business, and a snake would be willing to sacrifice his possessions to pay for his family's food.

Sailor Endangered Mammals The African Elephant Limited Edition

The African Elephant Limited Edition is the second of the Sailor Endangered Mammals series. The first limited edition pen is the Giant Panda Limited Edition which was launched last May 2012.
