Summer of the Sssnake


THE CATALYST



neighbors (closely related to the Lizard King)

Tarzan roommate



roomie's dodgeball helmet (the snake loves it, we're pretty sure anyway)


free of dreads for 1st time in 3 yrs.








Crocodile Hunter moment in my living room:

So, this afternoon I left the cage open, cause I'm really on top of my shit. The neighbors came over. 'Where's the snake??' SHITTTTTTTTTTTT.
'Oh, there's his tail, disappearing down the heater-hole. Grab it, quick.'
OH, he's going to fight. GRRRRRREAT. A flashlight, three helpers, sore muscles, a sweaty brow, and ten minutes later, we got the cranky bastard back in our clutches. I think I'll leave him in the cage for a few days.
Need I note that sticking my hand down a hole to grope for a snake's head that hates me while holding his whipping musclature in my other hand was not something my snake-phobia would have imagined when I moved in. Goes to show you can change anything.
