Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

I must be wired incorrectly, I've sort of started to like the smell. The tetra has done it a few times, but never on me.

Oh my girl got me good.... both hands, all down my shirt front, a bit on my leg, my shoe and the carpet. Monster musk!

[adamanteus]

Btw, it was great to speak to you and Sue and Molly .......I can wait

Yes, I enjoyed it too..... although conversation on the web-cam can seem a little strange at first. Afterwards, Molly asked me 'Why didn't I speak to Sabine?' Silly, shy girl!

someone sent me a link to a fear of snakes study that I found irritating because the study presumes that (for survival reasons) people have more of a need to be aware of snakes and spiders than other animals and things
the article even stipulates that humans had to be extraordinarily lucky to survive as a race, unless they could quickly spot snakes and spiders.

Thanks for the link, Rhea. I remember reading an article on the issue some time ago.


The local pet shop's owner just got awarded for running an ethical pet shop, donated 1/3 of the prize to the Finnish animal welfare associations. Not really surprising, they won't even sell a danio without making sure your aquarium is big enough and has the right water quality. Too bad they don't sell reptiles and related stuff anymore. They still have frozen mice, though.

Okay, that's better. I just needed to vent after a blood- pressure raising day! What better thread to do so on?

[adamanteus]

Let's have the details then, Anji..... Your 'AAARRGGHHH'... leaves us guessing!

Anji, hope the Gator photo didn't contribute

Well, it's probably not that dramatic, but little stresses add up!
My daughter is starting with what I suspect is bronchitis. My snake is puffy and oozing. I had to work a 10 hour day so I couldn't do anything for either one of them.
Now the clinics are closed, the vet is expensive, and I am exhausted.
The server for thamnophis.com was down for several hours over here, so I couldn't get on the forum for far too long.
And to top it off, some stupid people down the block thought it would be a wonderful idea to take in feral cats all winter, let them multiply, then release the whole lot of them this week when it warmed up. I arrived home to find 4 cats in my driveway, which all promptly took off into my backyard when I stepped out of the car. Spent 20 minutes chasing cats around screaming like a banshee. And the Humane Society is closed at this point too. So I really wish I had one of Stefan's guns.
Sorry, I am not really a cat-hater, but I don't need a yardful of flea-ridden, yowling , pooing-in-my-garden, wild animals, either.

I think I'm done now............are you sorry you asked yet, James?
