My snake's kind do live birth. He is a dude. My dude is a solo artist.
I know all of these things...yet I'm still a little afraid every time I clean his tank that I'll find he has laid eggs.
And my dude had to work for his food tonight! The rodents usually do the rodent version of Deer In The Headlights. "Holy crap, that snake is gonna --" and that's it.
Not this one! This one tried to play a very strategic round of Not Today Satan. But Shai-Hulud knows that game well, grabbed a foot, and hugged tight.
