` I was putting that out there for everyone looking in. Myself, I get dumber as the evening progresses.
` With little snakes, you've really got to watch out for orifices they can get into, like ladders made of pipe, and all the filter pipes, of course.
` One time, my big male got his belly scutes irritated from climbing in and out over the rough concrete decking. It wasn't a big problem, but it could have been, as I didn't realize it until the next day.
` Here's a snake who only likes to get his lips wet. He'll watch the water snakes, but that's as far as he'll go.
