I really want a tesserra corn. They are the best of both worlds!!!! All of the gorgeous colors of a normal corn snake but they are STRIPED like a garter snake. I too have an affinity for striped snakes.

It's still just a corn snake.

"Just a corn snake"? I dare to disagree with you, good sir. I thougth that corns are just as boring as pythons, but they are not. Nefri is a curious, adorable and smart missy, just as my beloved Izy, bigger and little slower though. But in any respect, she's great. For example, she always pops out from her hide, when I'm nerby. I even found out, that the best way of getting her attention is by wiggling my own tongue. Apparently, she can't help herself and resist and always checks what is that.

"Just a corn snake" as in "that paint job doesn't change it into something else".

So...to change the subject for a moment...after my chihuahua had to stay at the hospital overnight because of his little pill ingestion, he seems to have developed an anxiety disorder. Now he freaks out whenever we put him in his bed and when we have to leave him. He cried all night last night and kept waking everyone up. I went out today and bought him this anxiety dog jacket...it is supposed to help dogs with anxiety issues. It's just a coat that he wears...don't ask! We'll see if it works tonight when we are trying to get some sleep.

Maybe since he's tiny, he got addicted to it? If he's anything like me, I can get addicted to pills if I take just one. It's kind of in my genetic makeup, apparently. My real mom's drug counselor said that since my mom and dad did a lot of drugs before I was born, I have a lower tolerance to addictive substances, and a higher tolerance to most medications. Maybe he's going through a withdrawal because of the meds he did ingest?

Well I hear you on that because I can take one pill and then go into withdrawal the next day...I am also very sensitive to medications and I also get addicted to things very easily (addiction runs in my family too)...but the pill he took is actually used often to treat drug withdrawal....it was clonodine...which my son takes for sleep...and it is a blood pressure medication, but they also use it for opiate withdrawal. I think that he got all freaked out because he has never been away from us and he is super attached to me anyway...and he is a chihuahua so he is high anxiety to begin with. So...I think now he is afraid that we are going to leave him again. If he keeps acting weird, I'm going to talk to the vet.

Marnies dog the junkie
had a real close call with death
he gobbled some clonodine
and near took his last breath
despite his misadventure
you might find this hard to swallow
the poor dog's now on cannabis
with crystal meths to follow

It's still just a corn snake.

People say that about Garter snakes too!!!
