Me, too! I'd have pictures of the entire progression! Or video! That would be even better!

Granted, I'm the one who has over 1,000 pictures of my 5 mo. old daughter because she does something cute, I grab the camera, I take 25 pictures trying to capture the cuteness, and I maybe end up with ONE that actually shows what I was trying to get a picture of. I don't remember what I did before digital cameras...

Speaking of my kid, I guess I didn't really introduce myself - only told about the reason I'm here.

"Hi! My name is Andrea, and like most Virgos, I'm addicted to knowledge."

I currently have 4 "kids" - a 5 mo. old daughter, a 6 yr old cat (that I bottle fed from a week old), an almost 3 yr old ball python, and now a garter snake of indeterminate age. Over the years I've had one deer, two squirrels, several dogs, one boa, 3 hamsters, and 3 hermit crabs. I love animals, and if I had the space and my husband would allow it, I'd have more pets.

I read this forum, among other sites, for 3 days before accepting the snake, and that was just when I was supposed to hold it for a few days. I'm glad I did since the woman moved across the country without warning us, because at least I know I can take care of this beautiful creature! Most of the pets I've had over the years were rescue pets anyway, so this is nothing new.
