    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    Re: DO NOT READ! Non-garter Related

    Thanks you all!

    Lori, you're a woman after my own heart! You crack me up!

    Tami, how wonderful of you to remember. That was really special. Yup. Western Hoggy. Gonna use him at the park the days I'm there. Gonna use the garter's, too, when I get them. Isn't that wonderful? I can take all my babies to work with me!

    Patience is not one of my virtues (if I have ANY). I've waited like two months already for Kenabec to hatch - I DON'T WANT TO WAIT ANYMORE!!! WWWWWAAAAA!!!!

    I still can't believe this is me doing this and so xcited about it. It's like waiting for a puppy or kitten. I used to think all snake people were totally nuts. How COULD they like and call a snake a pet - they don't do anything! Just shows one should not be judgemental. At least I'm not rigid.

    I love that little Hoggy as much as I love Pickles and Mayo, and The Cats. He is mine and he's precious and perfect and the most wonderful Hoggy in the WORLD!

    I stopped at Twin Cities Reptile on the way home from work. They have an albino checkered and a 'regular' (I'm guessing) ribbon. THEY WERE SO TINY THEY LOOKED LIKE WORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Missy Winnie is definitely full grown. I wanted to hug and kiss them so much and thought, "Woman, you best get out of here now before you do something really stupid - like buy a snake - that you'll regret."

    I'll just have to wait for my little guy.

    I'd like to take the opportunity to continue to ramble - just for a bit here. I want you all to stop and think about "firsts." Like your first car, your first girl/boyfriend, your first dog, your first cat, your first horse... you first snake. Your first Pug, your first Aby (Abyssinian cat), your first poodle, your first child.

    You only ever have one first of anything. They're [usually] always the most specialest because they were the first you ever had. Not that you loved following [insert your word of choice] less, but there's always a special 'something' about the first.

    Kenabec will be my FIRST snake and my FIRST Hoggy. While the three garters I'm going to get will be my FIRST garters, Kenabec will always be my first snake. Sorry it can't be a garter, but at the time I didn't think I wanted to replicate Winnie in anyway.

    I hope I'll be allowed to talk about Kenabec here... You only have one first of anything.

    Thanks guys, for your warm wishes and happiness for me. It really means a lot.

    Re: DO NOT READ! Non-garter Related

    Otay. I got a 20 gal long aquarium - actually a herp tank with sliding lid - for Kenabec. When I got my big 90 gal the guy gave me a bunch o'stuff for free, one of which is one of those little plastic Critter Carriers. You know what I mean. It's not super small and will work great.

    I'm going to put Kenabec in that, in his tank initially.

    Here's what I've gotten to mess around with in making my own substrate:

    Aquarium gravel; not the TINY stuff, but small, rounded river stones.

    CoCo Soft

    Some REALLY COOL bark chips which I just smelled and THEY'RE CEDAR (or pine, I can't tell) and I got it from Twin Cities Reptile!!!!!!!! You can bet your bippy THAT'S going back!

    Peat moss

    Shagum moss (it looks a lot like some of the grasses out in the park)

    And... Timothy hay.

    Need to still get a pooper scooper; I got my heating pad; I've lights here; going to use the big rock-like snake hidey where the lid has a hole in it and the lid comes off - without the lid and that will be the water dish.

    Still have to get logs - I've got wood hideys to crawl into - and the oak leaves. Dave said since Kenabec is going to used in the programs it will be okay if I gather oak leaves from the park.

    So, now to mess around with the substrate stuff to see what I can come up with.
