Little Gem is fabulous! I love that she's a bit of a demon - baby snakes who're determined to stand up for themselves always touch my heart. I'm sure that while you'll be subjected to a little bloodshed along the way, she'll settle as she gets more confident with age and realizes that you're not a predator.
I was so sad to hear about Jewel. I didn't post in your thread about her as I've not been active online for several weeks and didn't want to re-awaken an already painful thread. But I think that bringing Gem into your lives is a wonderful way to honor the experiences you had with Jewel. Blessings to Jewel's memory - she was a lucky snake to have such a good home with you. I look forward to Gem updates!
