Neeru the Nerodia Sipedon

[setfree]

Cool! I'm glad he's eating. you did the right thing just remember when it's time to make the decision just keep him or decide to keep putting it off!

[infernalis]

I have decided, My old water snake "Aqua" passed away early spring time. His scent glands swelled up and he died, he was old.

Maybe I'm being selfish, but I'm keeping the snake. It's already shown that it will be fine in captivity.

It's name is Neeru.

5 brownie points to anyone but Stefan who figures out why.

First thought would be sounds close to "nerodia" but... That's the only thing I can think of.

[infernalis]

I may as well say it..

It's "water" in Kanarese, A language spoken in India.

and no I do not speak it, write in it nor understand it.

A nice lady in South Africa told me the word, and I liked it.

and the only reason I excluded a response from Stefan, is he's a linguist (or damn close)

[snake man]

Congratz I really like the way that water snakes look.

[ProXimuS]

Me too, I'm really starting to love water snakes
