Heh... the new snake may not end up being my snake. My wife was saying last night that she thought about "claiming" it when I brought it home. I told her if she wants a snake of her own, she's welcome to make that one "her" snake. She started thinking of names for it already...

I still have to take care of feeding it, though. My wife still dislikes having to feed rodents to a snake. I don't think it's the feeding of the snake that bothers her; it's dealing with rodents. When we had a mouse infestation in the house, and the cats left a dead one around, I was usually the one who got called to remove the remains.
