    Why pet garters shouldn't be released into the wild...

    I was letting the turtle out of its cage for a walk around the reptile room and some snacks the other night. When she ran out, she started looking for more and ended up walking up to Harley's tank, which is on the floor. Harley came out and put her nose right up to the turtle's through the glass. It was super cute for about five seconds, but then the turtle decided Harley looked tasty and tried to bite her head off through the glass... Several times.
    Harley never even twitched.

    So, I've come to the conclusion that my snakes have been spoiled to the extent that they believe they are invincible.

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

    Either that or she is far more intelligent than Houdini and has realized that she is surrounded by an invisible forcefield. My others don't seem to grasp that nothing can get in or out of their tanks except me.

    As long as no one brings an attack dinosaur that eats invisible force field dogs.

    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.
