Kleos journal.

Wish I could get a radix or two or three.
Still hoping someday to see some of my scrubs across the big pond.

The problem is, in Poland is hard to get a garter snake. There are some ribbons caught from the wild, but not too many eighter. For example, there was an offer of T. marcianus, but after a few days and me storming the seller it turned out, that the snake was sold already and nobody even bothered to inform me about that fact. I would like to buy some garter (marcianus or maybe sirtalis), but probably end up with another ribbon for Kleo's company (and start from the beginning with a new student).

Seem like you're doing a great job Professor.

One dude from Poland once said, that if you act constantly, methodically and patiently, you can bring the conclave to cannibalism. Well, it wasn't THAT hard with Kleo, but...

[Bart]

I dunno, does it mean, that Kleo's tamed? I mean, I held her like this for half an hour, watching TV and she didn't try to escape. In fact, she was sticking more to my arm, than Amon. Ok, who's the boss?

I wasn't holding her or something, and that thick place is a pinkie that she ate today.

Well, obviously shes tame enough...

[guidofatherof5]

I don't think they are every truly tame. They just trust and except us.
Most of my snakes accept me and don't feel I'm a threat.
This allows me to handle them in ways that most people find amazing but it really just boils down to the fact they trust me.
I'm glad they do.

[Bart]

That's what I meant. Kleo is trusting me. Oh boy, I feel like a boss, because I heard that holding wild caught ribbons is impossible like that. How about your ribbon, Steve?

She's a work in progress. Need to take baby steps with her.
She's home and won't have to worry about being sent somewhere else.
She's my first ribbon and glad she's here.

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah, they're probably never gonna actually LIKE you... they just want food
