Milksnake strike

Just about every time a snake of mine is up a tree I think of you and wonder how the hondo is doing.

Looks like it's doing just fine and you're enjoying it Noah.

My hondo is doing fine. He has really calmed down when I pick him up. The tail will wriggle a bit, but he hasn't musked or gone poo on me in probably 6 weeks. He's right at 2ft and as of a couple of weeks ago, 93g.

The problem I have going for me now is a cap and trade program has been implemented in my house. The number of snakes has been capped at 4 and if I want a new one, I have to trade another one out. I had to agree to this system to even get the Hondo. I've been looking at eastern/common/chain kings but I don't feel like giving up any of my current animals.

If I was going to give one up, it would be the ghost corn. He was an adult when I got him and so I never got to see him grow up. And I already have a different corn. I could trade the ghost for a chain and have 4 snakes of 4 different species.

I would feel guilty though trading in a corn for a king. But those kings are awesome too.....

If I recall correctly you and the better half are both students with limited resources so I can see the wisdom behind a cap and trade system.

For what it's worth... if you're really happy with what you have... keep them. No matter what you have there is always going to be some snake you don't have that will simply blow you away.

There's always time down the road Noah.

BTW... glad to hear you're happy with the hondo!
