I forgot!

It's amazing how good food is at restoring one's mood. I almost forgot to tell you guys the snake story.

So Megan's leaving her house, and the cat is acting funny. I turn to glare at it and movement catches my eye - and I realize I'm about two inches away from a snake. So that was Megan's heart attack for the year. Even better, I went to get the broom to sweep it away and by the time I got back it was nearly in the house. Since when do snakes want to go inside?

It disappeared under the house, my dad is currently trying to narrow down to where it might have gone. So that's the snake story.

Oh - I think it was black, yellow and brown. And not a pattern I've ever seen before. Never saw a snake like it before, and at least a foot long. I am clueless, it's not the kind of snake I've seen around here before.

Garden snakes are green, if it'd been one of those I'dve picked the sucker up and tossed it in the field behind our house.

That is awesome. I don't think I coudl handle a black widow but someday I want a pet snake.

Garden snakes may be green, but Garter snakes are brown, black, and yellow. (Mostly yellow) ;-> I used to bring them home all the time. They don't get to be much more than a foot long or so.. Very indigenous to New England.

Sheesh, and when I started reading about this snake I figured it was huge... ya know, three foot at least! But a cute little one footer? Who was probably headed for the house as the giant heat source it was for the poor cold little snakie.

Oh yes, and I highly recommend Ball Pythons as excellent snake pets. If anyone is interested, Rich is considering breeding ours, but only if we have enough takers for a litter.

I'm a taker! But you knew that already.

A foot or so is big for around here. And I would've liked it too except that I wasn't expecting to nearly step on it. REally I was just mostly amused - and I couldn't figure why it was trying to get in the house.

Heh... You'd love the six foot long Black Racer I found in PA, then... I thought it was length of black hose or something.. Then it started to slither away......

Nice guys, though... they just eat small rodents.

I'll put you on the list for a python. ;->

Garden snakes are green,

W-wait . . . Then what was that snake I tried to make into a pet last year? It was dark brown with red and yellow spots all along its underside!

(I've always wanted a pet tarantula, but my family was never open to this idea. So I just got kissing fish instead.)
