    New Baby!

    Can you guess what my husband's wedding/birthday gift to me was? Yeah, it was a baby garter snake. I got a baby albino Eastern who will be Harley's future boyfriend yesterday, and today he ate his first meal of three chunks of silverside from my hand!
    I'll get pictures up once I find my camera charger, because the reptile room has been fully organized and functional for a week now and I have yet to actually unpack all my things (priorities).
    After only two days, he's already nearly given me a heart attack. I had turned his tank inside out and didn't see him. After I was convinced he had managed to break physics and escape from his cage, I picked up the silk flower that I put in his cage and found him curled up in the petals.

    Also, his name is Sithis. If anyone has played the elder-scrolls games, it might right a bell. If not, it's still a really cool snakey-sounding name. I was going to wait until I had pictures to post this, but I had to share that I've apparently reached the point that when people are giving me gifts, the first thing that comes to mind is 'snakes'.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.
