A few years ago, I had received a dove. It was stuck in a tiny one level hamster cage that was FILLED with feces and I wasn't sure the dove would even survive. I named it George... don't ask me why... the name seemed to fit. The dove turned out to be pure white and grew into a lovely looking bird. A year after I got George... "he" decided to lay some eggs. So I found her a nice fawn male.
They soon got busy and laid some eggs, but none of them hatched. No worries. I wasn't really expecting much to be honest. But now, after 6 months of nothing, George laid two eggs... and one of them hatched! So now, I've got a REALLY ugly day old dove chick... and still one more egg in the nest! :)
So... that's my good news. :) I know doves aren't snakes... but I think it's pretty cool to watch something I thought for sure was going to die grow into a beautiful bird and successfully breed! If anyone is interested, I'll try to get some pictures. :)
Thanks for reading... you may all now go back to your much more interesting lives... ;)
