looking for some good reading

[infernalis]

I really enjoy all of them, even if a couple are children's books.

Yeah...Steve sent my son and me The Snake Scientist last year...it's really better for kids but I loved it!

Us garter fans are odd anyways, who else gets excited to see a U-haul truck, plans vacations around snake dens, hangs posters like a teenager in their room, thinks "I wonder if this will look good in my snakes enclosure" while shopping in thrift stores, Buys tubs of night crawlers but does not use them as fishing bait & thinks "I wonder if these are safe to eat" when looking at peoples tropical fish tanks??

Ha Ha....You guys are too funny...and so right...I am waiting like a kid for my poster to get here and I keep looking at my bedroom walls wondering where I should put it! Rofl...and when I saw that Uhaul truck I was driving with my family in the car and I almost caused a car accident because I got so excited I nearly ran off the road! Ha ha ha....oh too funny...

That is so true! I can't tell you how many times I've been adamant about going to some particular site while on a family vacation. Then when everyone asks why on EARTH I wanted to go walk through a swamp/hike rocky mountain trails in fall/walk three miles up a creekbed, the answer is always "because, this is the best place to find snakes here!".

After getting fed up with wedding planning and figuring out what to do for favors, I suggested to my fiance that we just tie pieces of ribbon around pinkie mice and give those out. The people who knew I kept snakes got to explain to the people who didn't just WHY I had enough dead mice around to actually go through with that.
Then I got to explain to everyone that it was a joke. (Though if someone were giving out free snake food as a favor, I would probably crash the wedding/party just for that).

That is too funny...yeah...I'd crash that wedding too...ha ha.

Sounds you had little girls squeeling as they opened their favours, and little boys poking them with their cutlery? Then little boys chasing the girls holding a pinky by its tail? Sounds like my sort of wedding.

[EasternGirl]

Yes...that had to be one of the most original weddings in history!
