usmcsis's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- still lost i haven't found that damn snake yet. having it get loose is one of the factors you have to take into consideration when deciding to keep snakes and other reptiles. jeff should have put something on the lid just in case but he didn't think the corn would have any way to get the lid off. it was on pretty tight. i guess when there's a will there's a way right? it sucks that he's out and that we may have lost him for good. actually, it's a her. for some reason i always refer to them as he's. *shrugs* she is a beautiful snake with some great breeding and she was het for rosy red which could lead to some even more beautiful (and high priced) babies. we could make a decent amount on a good clutch once she's bred. but what i'm worried the most about is sugar and fred. my ferret and chinchilla. the corn could easily get into either of their cages and kill them. they're too large for it to eat, but it could constrict them. sugar might be able to take it, ferrets were originally bred to hunt and kill snakes and other rodents, but fred wouldn't have a chance really. to the snake he's food in a cage. it's unlikely that he will mess with them but it's possible. it scares me and i'm tempted to stay up all night to keep an eye on them. but i'm tired and my head hurts. there's no way i could stay up. i just have to hope that wherever it is, it's comfortable and not hungry and maybe tomorrow we'll find it. 11:09 pm - 27 Jul 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
