Thanks a ton, this has been driving me crazy.

Yes, we'll get a bowl of worms to put in his cage tomorrow, and he'll be looked after when we leave.

*sigh* No wonder he hasn't been eating the fish. I thought he might not be a ribbon snake, because some things didn't match (no spot on the head, uncheckered central stripe), but I couldn't think of what else he might be.

Alrighty... now that we're feeding him right, things should go much better... thanks so much to everyone, and I'll post back if there are any problems.

Also, it occurred to me one thing I never mentioned, partially because it's been up in debate for a week or so- The snake's name is Quinn Mallory, shortened to Quinn or Mal, depending on which family member you ask.
