Why'd It Have To Be Snakes?
Because I love snakes. I've always wanted a snake. And now... I've got one!
I got myself a corn snake and all the equipment and supplies that one needs to have a pet corn snake. I've been a snake owner for, technically, three hours now and I've probably spent at least two of those hours watching the vivarium and the little guy explore his new home.
I'd spent the last month going into PetCo every few days to look at the snakes and price the equipment. I knew it would be a bit of a monetary commitment, but this urge just wouldn't go away. It's something I've been wanting to do for a long, long time. But what pushed me over the edge was one PetCo employee in particular...
Yesterday, I didn't see any snakes in the cage so I asked when they would get more. She told me there were a few in there and took me back to the display cage. Opening it up, she fished a few of them out from under the water dish. And then... she put one in my hands. That was it. Watching the little guy slide around my hand and wiggle his tongue about sold me. I had to have one.
So, still hunting for an appropriate, snake-y name. Ooo! And I need to take a picture of me and him (or is it her, I don't know actually) tomorrow while the snake is still only 8 inches long.
