Snakes

So, I was at work today, just getting back from lunch, when out of the blue, The Other Rod--not to be confused with Former Group Leader Rod-- stopped by my stand and asked me if I had a snake.

I told him, yes, I have a snake. I have seven snakes, in fact. He got very excited at this. He told me he used to have a boa constrictor, but he let a friend take it, and the friend got attached to the snake. Now, The Other Rod needs a new snake.

Moral: Never let anyone borrow your snake.

He tried to get me to sell him one of mine, but of course, I wouldn't.   I told him to go to the pet store and buy himself one.  He, TK, and Vanessa were all very fascinated that I have snakes.  They wanted me to put one in a jar and bring it to work with me.  Naturally, I refused to do that, so they then asked me to bring in pictures of all of my snakes. 

That I agreed to do, and I spent the evening finding the best photos of each one.  Except Blaze.  I don't have any good photos of him at all.  For some reason, he's hard to photograph. 

Now, for your viewing pleasure, here are the photos I have selected.

They're lovely!! I want a corn snake, but I just won't get one til my kiddos are older. I don't want them to hurt it accidentally. then again, they've done so well with Sal the salamander... maybe they're about ready.....
Anyway, thanks for sharing!
