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

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!!!

May I do a story on this snake? I'm sure my loyal followers would love this story of the snakenapping and it's environmental impact on the imidiate surroundings.

Did I also read you crabnapped some Hermit's from TX? That's not good either and we can delve into that. The Hermit's have lived in TX for many generations and have never wondered beyond it's borders. Several of them, Bobby Lee and Mary Alice, are friends of mine.
