Time for Shai-Hulud to eat, so sister-in-law brought a mouse home for him. (We're not feeding him the wild ones, but don't tell them.) It took him almost five full minutes to decide it was time to "hug" his dinner. That mouse was walking along his spine and he didn't seem to care! I was afraid he thought this was his new roommate.
I truly am glad I finally got the snake I had wanted for 30+ years. He's a blessing. And sometimes puts on dramatic performances.
@weirdfizz Oooo! What sort of snake?
I love snakes.
@AskTheDevil He's an African sand boa. Two feet of joy! I greet him every day and he flicks his tongue at me. If I'm late getting in there he moves to the front of the tank and waits with his head above the sand.
@weirdfizz what a great name!
@fuse My husband has been a Dune fan for decades, read all the books multiple times. An African sand boa spend something like 95% of their life under the sand, so of course I had to name him that! 😄
@weirdfizz I had never heard of an African sand boa. Very cool!
It's been almost a month since he last ate because he was shedding a couple of weeks ago and will not eat while shedding. I thought he'd be fast when he got the mouse. He usually is.
