    well..actually...the answer would be...

    10 snakes divided by 1/3 of the circumference of Y = 1 yellow chair.

    Yeah I love the one about people who think a pinky once a month is good enough for a snake thats could easily take a large rat. I had the girl at the pet store near me try to pull that one. They had a BP that probably weighed about 6-700g and they were feeding it one freakin pinky a month. Totally ridiculous.....

    Ahhh it all makes sense now..... I'm gonna go put all my normals in a cage in direct sunlight... I need some more pastels lol.

    9. Snakes love the company, that's why they snuggle together in their cages.
    I had this conversation with the girl at Petco yesterday, she keeps BPs and was trying to tell me that the 5 CH babies they had in one like 15 gallon sized tank were all snuggling because they love each other. I guess she's got 3 BPs that she keeps in the same tank :rofl:

    I'm amazed at the disproportionate amount of strength they think Ball pythons have. Yes... you get into the bigger snakes and they are strong - but I can't convince my grandma that my almost 3 foot ball python cannot strangle me because I'm stronger than it.

    She says that I'm wrong, that they are stronger than they look... She told me she's worried about me home alone with him and asked me not to take him out of his tank unless I had someone with me... wouldn't Stan be proud to know that someone thinks he's such a killer! :D

    Oh I know the answer to this one!

    Translation of that is....we are too damned cheap to feed anything else to these snakes that we hope to quickly pawn off on somebody!

    Do I get a cookie? :)

    yes...carry the 2, and divide it by the square root of 3 red m&m's.
