I think I am going to make mousepads of this! In many colours. Hahaha you see because they eat mice GET IT man I'm so hilarious -C

About this time last year I was in a pit of snakes, all in all I'm well off. I suppose that does make me feel good. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the deities are trying to place nice. However, I know better. Shouldn't we all? It's like Charlie Brown and the football inevitably. I hate that. I'm looking for a little friendly sword fight. No super power shit, just skill. I need to get out...

...by a tiny snake--about six inches long, which bravely tried to strike at each of us as we passed it (by dint of its attitude, I must conclude that it was a new-season, juvenile Tiger --Whip Snakes do not exceed about twelve inches in length, so why the attitude when one is half-grown?). This is the first snake that I have seen upon the Mountain--there is an almost frightening plethora of...

...of South America for the title of longest snake. Pythons are not venomous and have become popular pets, but experts warn they can be dangerous if they are startled or if not fed correctly. I love snakes and I feel bad for this lady, but I also believe that only professionals should own Retics, Burmese, and Anacondas. Just too dangerous. This snake was only half the size it could have been.

If you have a snake, be sure that mouse you're trying to feed it isn't SUPERMOUSE . Yes, a mouse killed a snake that their owner tried to feed it to after a fierce 30 minute fight in which the mouse "didn't...is is that the logic these particulars used on why a win from him would benefit them makes a lot of sense. Random Conspiracy: That mouse was clearly a member of Al-Qaeda or possibly a reptilian spy

...in PS, or 2. A breeder who took a flash photo of their snake on a towel in a poorly-lit apartment and posts it just as their $150 camera crapped it out ...You bet your butt I'll choose the former. Snakes are pretty, and deserved to be shown off as such. Don't up the saturation so that all of your albinos suddenly look like sunglows, sure, but don't act as if accessible digital photography is the...

So. I was walking down the beach, and this snake BIT ME. Like when I saved Luffy, only I didn't loose a limb, my foots just in pain. And it's not like it was a POISONOUS 'lil thing, no. It was just a...it. In the ocean. But I think I over did it with the bandages to stop the bleeding. Oh, and just in case it WAS a poisonous 'lil bugger, I gave myself a truncate; I'll only loose a foot. It's all good

...that I was able to do while David was out. She died a few hours ago, somewhat ironically while David and I were agonizing in discussion over whether or not to euthanize her. It's funny how tough snakes are as adults and how delicate they are as babies. And they really do have to be perfect to live, natural selection does not get cheated. I'm sad. I've never had a snake die in my care before...

...Bill is, if a bit more reserved and quiet about it) were at the fancy Japanese place: they, too, were celebrating. Bill was alive, you see, and that was cause for celebration. He'd been feeding his snakes today. Now, remember how Bill's got lemur and wallabies and badgers and emus and pigs and otters and fishes? Well, INSIDE his house is where he keeps his favoritest pets, which are the reptiles...

As a change from pictures of Utah and mopes about mothers, here are two pictures of Axminster the carpet python, looking very shiny today.
