I'd like to introduce a new member of our family.
No, no . . . not the bear. The critter under the log.During last week's visit to the nature center, Phillip and I agreed that it would be fun to get a pet snake. (Apologies to any family members currently shuddering.)
Today we took a family outing to the pet store, and brought home . . .
. . . a baby corn snake.Corn snakes are docile, inquisitive creatures who can grow to be about 4' long. They supposedly got their name because farmers often found them in corn cribs and assumed the snakes ate corn, though they were actually after the mice and rats in the crib. I repeat: corn snakes eat small rodents, not people. Our snake will not harm you. :)
We don't have a name for our little snake yet, and we welcome any suggestions. I proposed "Spot," but Phillip was, um, less than enthusiastic about that idea.

That is cool, we were thinking of getting one too soon, since they love Pheonix alot.
How about Smaug?
I cannot believe that you, Kimberly, have a snake!
I think a pet snake sounds like just the right thing.
