Hey Hey

My god damned laptop is acting the god damned twat.

I’ve not been ignoring you, honest.

I was seeing a young lady but had to dump her for being utterly insane. Had been seeng her for 3 weeks when she brought up the subject of getting married and having kids. That was when I took my cue to run for the hills!

I’ve gotten myself a new pet, a Royal Python, a normal. He’s still a baby so less than a foot long but when fully grown he’ll be between 5-6 feet. I’ve also got myself a corn snake coming as well. That’s an interesting tale there. I was in a reptile shop in Maidstone yesterday. They’re pretty good in there, they have a good choice of animals and are very knowledgeable about their trade. I was allowed to handle all sorts of snakes and there was a baby Corn Snake behind the desk. I asked about it and was told that it had been found in a basement, abandoned and had been close to death. It apparently has a screw loose and is being nursed back to heath. When it is fit and ready to go, that’s coming home with me. Whilst in there I enquired as to a snake I saw that was utterly beautiful. I asked how much I was looking at for the set up and the snake. I asked what the temperament was like. They answered all my questions and allowed me to hold the baby one, though the older one in a neighbouring tank had not long been fed and as such was not available to be handled. I fell utterly in love and once I’ve seen how I get on with the python and corn snake, then I’ll get me one of those. One of what you may ask? Only a Boa Constrictor!

Lizards are also an option and I’ve been offered a Bearded Dragon I’m much more of a snake person then a lizard. My only issue with the larger snakes, such as the Boa will be their food. I’m fine with obtaining and feeding the corn and the python their mice and when the python is larger, it’s rats but the Boa eats rabbits and chickens! And if I’m not careful, me as well!

Interestingly, I have seen this shop refuse to sell to people they think want their animals for status or people that they think wont take care of them properly. I like that, the sense of honour there. I’m also fond of the fantastic rack on the girl working there!
