Greetings from Lurkerville.

Last night, my bp Severus & I were watching tv. As he normally does, he was crawling around & exploring. Somehow, & don't ask me how this happened, he got wedged in openings of the hair clip that I was wearing (& seemed to want to continue going through, even though he wouldn't have fit).

I was having a minor heart attack, & thought about what to do. Knowing that I couldn't pull on him w/out causing damage to him (I would have gladly sacrificed the hair clip), I remembered that he happens to be quite head-shy.

I moved my hand towards his face a few times, that startled him, & he was able to pull himself free. I immediately checked him over, & he was fine.

So, amigos, the moral of this long-winded story is this: do NOT wear hair clips while visiting w/a snake. Or, if you do wear a hair clip, make sure that any openings are too small for the snake to fit into.

Pax,
