dear happy little reptile diary,
i am glad to only have one of the little fuckers, but i admit it would be cool to see how two would interact, but i couldn't afford to feed two, so forget that i even said that. but last night i stood at the top of the tank and yelled and the snake came out and let me take her picture. i think she is even smiling for you guys. i sent it down to walgreens and i'm having hard copies made because i think it is that good of a picture- she never looks into the camera like this.
she was in a really good mood last night, she didn't strike or hiss. she was a big flirt. when she finally got in her cave under her rock, it came up off the ground about four inches (like a big clam shell) and then lowered back down slowly. we all laughed. it was funny watching her get settled in her new bedding. her belly is full, she has new skin, new water, new bedding, a clean cave rock, and she got her tree back, her heater is plugged in, and her tank scrubbed out with a brush and hose. she is ready for the long haul. if she bites me again, she is now officially long enough and wide enough to make a nice sized belt- once you get past that little skinny neck, i'll have the buckle put there prolly.
