Woman recalls how poverty pushed her to get snake pet

In an interview with Bongo Touch, the Tanzanian lady revealed that she keeps the snake in a hidden room that only she can access.

She claimed that the huge pet has helped her and her loved ones acquire lots of money and purchase homes.

"I went through a season that I was so low and broke. I lost someone I really loved so much; he was sick, and I could not afford to take care of him until he died. I am the firstborn in a family of three. We never had food, we struggled for a long time," she said.

Musa said she tried everything she could to make ends meet, and people kept giving her the wrong advice, yet she came from a spiritual home.

How woman uses money she gets from snake

She also added that after struggling for a long time, she ran into a friend she was in school with, to whom she narrated her plight.

"I told her I wished I was to be like her because she was driving a good car; she looked rich. She listened to me and indirectly said she would help me. I asked her to help me get a job or a business, and we exchanged contacts, and she told me not to worry," she further said.

According to her, the friend came through two months later and took her to a specialist who gave her a snake and instructions to use, if she wanted riches.

"There are things I must say, and when I do, I get money in that duration that I need. But there is a limit I must say, so that I get the money. It is not a normal snake, it's a miracle snake," she added.

She, however, added that the money is not for investments but to buy luxurious things and support her family.
