Is this still open to people? I'd love to join ^^

Couple of questions though:
1. Could I have a character that had moved from England to America, perhaps in order to escape from Voldemort/The DE's once the war started?
2. Would it be okay to make a Parselmouth?
3. When you say snakes are okay as pets, what size snake are we talking? XD Like would a big 8ft+ python/boa be okay or would something smaller like a corn snake/ball python be more what you were after? I don't mind either way, just wanted to make sure what size snake was ok :P
