We have a new pet...

[Mrs.ssippi]

It is a snake. I found it under some leaves when I was working in the yard. I wanted my 5 year old to see it so I picked up a stick and the snake wrapped around it and I put it in her bug box. She and Paragon caught some crickets out in the yard to feed it this morning. I really don't like snakes but my want for her to see it out weighed my fear. And I'm really a chicken sh!t! Oh and we have it in the house.

Children terrified as python eats boyNovember 25 2002
By Jane Flanagan
Johannesburg



A six-metre African rock python has eaten a boy near Durban - the first recorded "man-eating" incident for the species.
For three hours other children hid up mango trees near the township of Lamontville, too terrified to flee, as the snake first trapped the 10-year-old and squeezed the life out of him, then swallowed him whole.
Police and snake experts found no trace of the child, or his clothing. They found nothing but flattened grass and a trail leading down to a stream.
The incident last week prompted widespread panic among the township's 50,000 residents and great fascination among herpetologists across the country.
Eleven-year-old Khaye Buthelezi, who saw the extraordinary attack, was persuaded to revisit the site on Saturday.

I'll say it again:

Don't bring your pets here!!!

I like my snake with some bling! That could be taken bad but trust me Paragon does not have any bling on his snake. .
You know my 5 year old, those rocks are right up her alley. So girly.

I want to drink in peace, the BIG dog will go to "doggie school" (thats what our 5 yr old calls it) and we will throw alittle feed in the tank for the fish and snake and the hermit crab. We left Corpus Christi with 4 hermit crabs and now we are down to one. Yeahh! Yeahhh! Anyway the snake will stay here. I want to get invited back to ken and CP's and if I don't have fun I will tell them I did bring the snake with us and.... nevermind they read things on here.

That's not what you said in Tellico after Paragon went to bed and you got all liquored up!

I figured that with this cute little thread title that kids would see this so I was very careful in choosing the pic of this "dog muzzle".

She already knows which ones to shoot and which to leave alone or catch and play with

She and I was on the ATV when we saw a King Snake chasing a Copperhead and we stopped and watched the King swallow the Copperhead without much fuss.

I remember that snake. Do you still have the full body shot? Didn't that thing swallow a pig or calf?
