Well, the Winter Curse has stricken me again. We lost Norm, the normal corn snake. Poor little guy was barely weighing in at 3 grams, at about 11 inches long. Just couldn't stay with us.

Ok, gotta find a positive, can't stay negative. Um... On the positive side of that coin, we have one Corn that eats like a champ, and one more that looks okay, even though she isn't eating on her own.

And my bonehead move, I really thought I closed the Dart Frog enclosure. I'm *sure* I did. I felt it, I couldn't push the lid farther back. Yeah, that's right, because the lamp shifted and jammed it open. We only found 3 of the 5. I wonder if my temporary case of DUMB-A@@ is a result of the Curse, too?

Ok, gotta find a positive, can't stay negative. Um... On the positive side of that one, the little froglets burrow into the moss in the tank, so we're hoping they didn't escape. Not a probability, but a possibility.

Next full moon, I'm going out and doing a "Lift the Curse" dance. If it doesn't work for me by myself, Wayne, can we put it on the agenda for the World Meeting?

Sorry about your corn snake, Stephi. :-( And I hope your froggies are just hiding. Yeah, we need some positive change... you know the Lift the Curse dance has to be performed naked, right? :eek: LOL!!!!

I was afraid someone would say that!!!! It's 29degrees here, and I live in the middle of suburbia. No outdoor naked dancing here!!!!!

And YES, WAHOO!!!! They were all hiding, I found them this morning. Crafty little buggers!
