Rocky's Last Bout

We regret to inform you of the passing of Rocky, the male pastel ball python.
He was never the cuddliest of snakes, so sadly we never became too attached to him. It was hard to see him deteriorate in such a short amount of time though.

I have to thank my Father-in-law, Steve, for taking him to the vet and giving him shots. It is such a shame that he wasn't able to recover.

We burried him in the back yard after paying our respects.
Rest in peace champ.

Look Around You

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

The Fast is Officially Over

Ghandi, the anorexic anerythristic Kenyan Sand Boa finally ate after his 5 month fast.
This is definitely an extreme form of passive resistance.

His cage lid is on extra tight now. I don't want him escaping to sit Indian-style on the train tracks.

Mice S(ound)mell Funny

It has been forever since my last post and I apologize to all of my adoring fans. I know you have hungered for more snake talk.

Well, due to my recently snake neglect, my father in law took it upon himself to feed our lot of pets. To his chagrin, the price of rodents has recently gone up. It is definitely a sellers market out there.
So he decided to get 4 white mice, versus our usual purchase of African Soft Fur Rats. I don't know if you have ever noticed this, but mice have to hold some sort of record for size:smell ratio. They might even give the skunk a run for his money.

Luckily, we were able to give them all a good home... in the belly of the veracious Destiny's Child and Big Bertha! HAHAHahahahahahahaha HAAHAHAhahahhaha HAHAHhahah Bwwahaahhhahahahah...
