Wow, silence in the house!! Not a common thing in my world. My family decended on us last thursday and our itty bitty house was thrumming!! Almost all work on the enclosure came to a stop (life goes crazy when mamma arrives!)

However, all ends well. I got to watch mamma squirm when I told her I was setting up for a snake that eventually tops 4-5' (she thinks that is rather big:eek:) She eventually came around citing "that if she could end up liking Misty (an Iguana we had for many years) she could end up liking a snake. Then of course she had to tell the story of my trying to sneak a wild-caught garter snake home from vacation when I was like 9!!:rolleyes:

Anyways, on top of it all, when she left yesterday, she took my son with her for a 2 week beach vacation!!! :freakedout:

Only down side is apparently, I am incapable of sleeping in even when childless!!:confused:

Yeah people tend to think 4 feet is big for a snake but it really isn't.

I didn't tell her that........yet, I'm breaking her in gently!!

Haha I love it when I talk to people about how small my snakes will be and they are all in shock telling me 5-6' is huge! On the other hand I am like you, with or with out my son home I am sleepless for the most part. At least the silence can be enjoyed!! :D

I keep looking over my shoulder to see where he is!! You know the "30 seconds of silence = trouble" rule!! I guess it hasn't sunk in yet that he's not here!!

Yep, mamma was shocked when I said it's only gonna be a small snake, 4-5'. But then again, after 36 years she knows me well enough to know not to argue!!
