Wiggles, the Children's Python

I have received the prize. Now, I know everything! I am everything! (Highlander, 1986)

Good, we'll expect GREAT things from you now! Side note- when I first got my spotted python, I nicknamed her "Aunt Theresa" because it helped me remember her species name.

When I got to know her better, she became Yiva, which means "wolf" or "she-wolf" in Scandinavian- so much more appropriate.

Now wait a minute! In my excitement, I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself. I should, at least, read the book first. I did read the first chapter, and I'll say it's a dense read. I'm going to have to read it again while also reading the sources that they cite to better understand it. Then, I'll probably need to read it a third time. So, it's going to take me a while get through all 256 pages. As I go along, though, I'll share about the most interesting things I learn.

The second one on carpets is just an expansion of the first one. It's not out yet, but should be out soon. So, I'd wait for it.

I cleaned Wiggles's enclosure a day early. I have the day off and Wiggles conveniently decided to come out for a morning activity session. His activity sessions have been much less active of late. He used to do laps around my living room. Recently, he discovered my bookcase. This was one of my late BP's favorite haunts. He hides his body behind the books but leaves his head out so he can watch what's going on. He can sit here for hours.

I've also recently reduced the amount I'm feeding him. I tried adding a pinkie to his hopper, but he started refusing. Since the change, he's been eating regularly. I'll reconsider this depending on his New Year's weigh-in.
