it was the coolest thing, i was picking up my baby corn snake the other day to feed her and she was all sorts of pissed off at me so she started rattling her tail like a rattlesnake, but her tail was wrapped around my finger so i could feel it. That was pretty awesome. I'm surprised she can eat pinkies as big as she does since she's still really small; she's only about as big around as 3/4 of a pencil and the pinkies are older than they should be technically to feed a snake that young but she gets them down okay. The bulge she gets from them makes her look funny though. She's gonna be really pretty when she's full grown though since she's a blizzard corn.
My poor Tempyst kitten how has bloody stool, on top of the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, weakened lung lobe, slightly deformed hind legs, and not being there completely mentally.. I just don't know how much more his little body can handle.. he's a lot smaller than he should be, but i think that's partly due to his heart. At least he's still really energetic and runs around with the other cats. I just want him to have the best possible life he can.
Work is going well, though. I have some dissention in my team even though I'm always polite and say 'please', 'thank you' and 'when you get a minute' to my employees they still say i'm mean. I just don't get it. *shrug* oh well.. I'm very excited to get my new ball python from my sisters clutch that just hatched a little while ago. He's a spider morph and is sooo pretty!! I'm way excited to get him. :)
On a sad note, I'm trying to find an adoptive home for my foster kitten... he's really sweet and lovable and playful, like any kitty would be, but no one will take him, lol. The girl who was going to take him changed her mind about wanting another cat so she decided not to. I want him to go to a good home with another kitty to play with or someone who will be there all the time so he won't have to be alone since being here in this zoo is all he's ever known and it would be traumatic for him to go somewhere with no one else to play with for most of the day. I'll be sad to give him up, though. He sleeps with me every night, tangled up in my hair and purring loudly in my ear. Makes it hard to sleep sometimes but he's so cute! he's just like my other tom, though, full of energy and charisma. He's got long legs and will be a big boy when he's full-grown. Just more kitty to love! :)
Okay, I guess that's all for now....
