man, if I knew how happy a pet snake would make me I would have started my collection many years ago!

I can't explain it. I can't describe it. I am enthralled.

I figured you guys would understand

it's the way his skin looks and feels. it's the tilt of his head when he notices me outside his cage. it's the enthusiasm of his feeding response. it's the many ways he propels himself. I'm practically speechless.

thanks to Kara and NERD for making my first snake keeping experience so easy and positive my new pet is absolutely healthy, gorgeous, and well adjusted
