RE: mud snakes in captivity --

Hiya Kevin --

I decided not to get the snake. I was awfully tempted, though. It's not a snake that could be returned to the wild -- it was purchased from FL and shipped to TN -- and since it had been in captivity for 8 months already I was confident that it is eating right now. And it was awfully cheap, to boot! However, my wiser side took over for once and reminded me that I already have enough projects going on, and I certainly don't need to add a difficult critter to my work load!

Somebody else will probably kill the poor snake in the next coupla months -- but every once in awhile I need to act like an adult and realize that I can't take care of every single interesting critter out there in the world.

Thanks for your input, in any case!
