Thanks for sharing my excitement! My husband's approval wasn't too hard - he knows I wanted to get a Rosy next year. So in addition to it being "free" and a rescue, it is just a timing thing. Also, I think it is fate. This is weird to say, but I am pretty sure (hopefully, I will be able to tell when I pick him up MONDAY!), that he is the same one I held at the PetCo on October 20th, and again in early November two more times. The first time I held him, my heart starting pounding with excitement. It was love at first handle.

We decided to convert our 10 gal fish tank to a temporary home for our new Rosy (the 4 fish all mysteriously died a few weeks after we got new fish). It means spending less $ money now and getting the snake home sooner.

The nice thing is that if he IS the one I held 3 times already, maybe in some way he will remember me (should I start a thread on that so we can all argue about it?). I hope any recognition he may have helps him settle in. He was incredibly docile and sweet when I held him. But apparently he has struck at his foster mom and one employee at PetCo. I am willing to work with him - forever!

I will post a picture as soon as I can. And thanks for the kind words, Shelby. Coming from you, it means a lot.

I am so EXCITED!
