Cuddles!

That blows big fish bubbles.

Slugs = disgusting poops.
I was used as a bathroom today. Not the most pleasant thing, when you have a bad cold and then you have to do laundry because of it.

He had a tank cleaning last night so I put him on a log on my bed. He thoroughly enjoyed it.

He is so darned cute! Oh he has the cutest little face! Ha ha...slug poops!

I'm slightly biased, but I think he's just the most adorable thing on earth (with the exception of my youngest brother).

He musked me today. I was not happy since he was in a place he wasn't supposed to be in the first place. The lady who used to serve as my second mother (in a sense) came to visit and wanted to see him, so I was taking out and he musked me, wouldn't let her hold him, and then crawled all over my hands to spread that lovely smell all over them. I was surprised because he so rarely does that and this is the second time in a week.

Hopefully he won't do that when I offer him some worms tomorrow.

He did that because of her being there...he didn't recognize her and was scared. My snakes do the same thing when strangers are around. He really is adorable.

That's odd, because Sunday night we had a visitor over and I set him right in the guy's hand and he instantly curled up all happy. He'd never met the guy before. Maybe he didn't like this lady or something (which wouldn't surprise me - it happens with her occasionally).

[EasternGirl]

Lol...maybe he smelled something on her that put him on the defense...you never know what is going on. Cee Cee never musks me or my mother, but tonight when I took her out to give her her antibiotic shot, she was flipping out...I think it was because my cat was staring at her through the tank before I took her out. She was really on the defensive. She musked all over the place. Poor thing.

Mama doesn't like my mom as much as she likes other people, mostly because my mom becomes scared when she's holding her. She didn't quite like my brother, either... He acts tough but he's deathly afraid of snakes.. even tiny little Angel (RIP)... It could also be that if she was wearing perfume or something, he may have taken that as something threatening.

[EasternGirl]

Right...I was just reading in one of the reptile magazines that John sent me about how if you are afraid when you are holding a snake, you tense up and stuff and the snake can sense you being uncomfortable and tense, which makes the snake go on the defensive and the snake will often then musk and poop. I also think that snakes probably smell things on us like other animals and things like that and become defensive. Perhaps they may even smell something that smells bad to them and become defensive.

I'll be that it was their dog & cats he was smelling on her. Chewy (their dog) is always all over them, and even our dog went crazy when she came in, trying to figure out if they were another dog in the house. Cuddles is used to the smells of our dog and cat, but I bet this one was more overpowering. Also, I think she was trying too hard to control where he moved and he didn't like that. I just sit him in my hand and let him curl up where he likes. He was fine once I was holding him again.
