Bye, bye snake

The snake wasn't eating, so despite the kids' tears, we returned him to the wild. It's a shame, because he was a great snake for the kids. Not very big and very comfortable being held.

Michael is trying to talk me into purchasing a California king snake. I think that's a little bigger than I want to go, but buying a snake would ensure we got one that would eat in captivity.

Dad's snakes only ate once every week or two. That seemed to be all that they wanted and they did fine.

Your world is sounding vaguely familiar:)

Yes, but we only fed him a pinky (a tiny baby mouse) the first time, so he should have still been plenty hungry. Or so says Michael. I defer to his expertise.
