Alright, Taylor, I think you jinxed me, hahahaha.
I had a horrible snake nightmare last night. So one of my snakes (a fictional green colubrid of some sort) was out with me while I was organizing my ridiculously messy room in my fictional house...
Well, the snake took off into a pile of clothes I had started which were to be donated to salvation army. The snake was having a blast, in and out and all around like a kid in a New England leaf pile in autumn!!
So I let the snake have its fun...until the snake darted towards the window which has a window fan in it... well the snake found the window fan and was weaving in and out of the grate as if it was taunting me saying "you can't catch me you can't catch me!!" while narrowly avoiding the spinning fan blades. I waited for an opportune moment to grab the snake, and it tagged me and held on. I waited it out til it let go, at which point the snake found a tiny gap in the window frame...by the time I grabbed the snake it had already gotten far enough into the frame that I couldn't pull it out for fear of injuring the snake. Well, I just held and held and held the back half until I finally said "screw it" and pulled the snake out...as I did, all the dorsal scales along the spine, all the flesh and muscle all peeled off as if I was peeling a carrot. I screamed in horror as I saw the snakes exposed spine...and woke up in a panic!! I immediately checked all my enclosures, phew!!! It was only a dream...
