So we started off with Binky, then Chris decided to accept John's kind offer of a second snake.... then I am told, very quietly and almost as an aside as he leaves the room, that He has said he will take another from him. Within two weeks we will have gone from zero to three snakes. If we continue to gain snakes at this rate one of us will have to move out to make space for vivs.

My mother may never visit again....
