Diary of a snake (and her girl)...

[EasternGirl]

Now Richard...I told you I'm an over-protective mother! Lol...getting me to stop worrying is akin to getting me to stop breathing. I needed to clean the tank under the substrate anyway..because she has been hiding under there and pooping. It was all over under there. But believe me, I won't be doing the thorough cleaning like that too often...it was a bit of work!

Now...on a different note, following in Steve's example, I thought I would post a pic of my son. He's with the cat (with evil kitty eyes)...haven't gotten him to hold the snake yet! He takes pics of her...and he pets her. Not ready for holding yet!

OMG! your son is in danger. Beware the possessed evil kitteh!

I only owned one cat my entire life. She looked exactly like that one. Her name was "gray ghost". I got into birds and snakes, and came to hate, or at least, strongly dislike cats after that.

Cute kid and cute kitty
I have a cat, dog, 7 snakes and a macaw. Willy, the macaw, will literally scream in your ear any time you make a noise. He's really annoying and mean.

Marnie, your son is gorgeous!
We have two cats, and they drive each other (and, therefore, the rest of us) insane.

Thanks everyone...my son knows exactly how cute he is, and I am in trouble when he is a teenager. He is half-Mexican. I have a dog and three cats....the one in the pic is Boo..he is a big, fluffy teddy bear..that likes to spoon with me and has no idea he is a cat. Beanie...my black cat...was a rescue kitty. I live on a college campus, and stupid college kids get animals and then abandon them when they move at the end of a semester or year. We have quite a problem with that around here. Beanie apparently lived in an apartment I lived in before me...everytime I would open my door, she would run inside. Luckily, some of the neighbors had decided to feed her...but no one was taking her in. She became mine...and she is an awesome cat. I also have Ian...a tabby...he is a bit of a pistol. Then there is my yellow lab, Kaela...who is on her way out...as I have posted about. You can see pics of all my pets under the "non-garters" post in the lounge.

Selena took a piece of worm on hemostats from me today! Thanks so much to Steve for sending the hemostats...

[kibakiba]

Great progress, Marnie! Hopefully she'll take more from you soon.

Glad things are working out with them.

Today I saw Selena swim for the first time...it was really cool..she went around in circles in her dish...lol. I'm wondering if maybe I should get a bigger dish for her so that she can swim, now that I know she likes to...she never swam before.

Mine do that sometimes. On warmer days I let them swim in the bathtub, kind of like a little beach day for them. Snakey loves the water and constantly swims... Mama is the type to touch the water with her "toe" and want out.
