It's not easy raising twelve kids. Despite that, every Walter boy possesses different strengths and aspirations.

Take for instance Cole who aspires to once again become the school's star football player, or Danny who likes studying actors in movies. And Jordan Walter who wants to become a cinematographer and film director.

The series also introduces viewers to Jordan's pet, a snake named Rumplesnakeskin. You might have already guessed why he named the snake that but in case you're clueless, we're ready to fill you in.

What Type of Snake is Rumplesnakeskin?

In Ali Novak's book, Jordan owned a yellow corn snake, which is non-venomous and quite useful in getting rid of rodents and insects.

Initially, Jack Walter told Jackie they wanted a python snake, but their parents wouldn't oblige after hearing that their friend's python stretched itself to prepare to eat its owner.

The Netflix series, on the other hand, had a different Rumplesnakeskin in mind. Jordan's Rumple might either be a tiger snake or a water snake.

But knowing how they would have to live with the snake, there's a good chance Rumple might be a water snake which is the non-venomous kind.
