Just a quick post today (while I'm waiting for the line at the uni cafe to go down...) fed Houdini his first fuzzy today, had previously been feeding him pinkies but he managed to take the fuzzy no problem (it was just a small one, not much 'fuzz').
Still havent gotten him in tne new RUB yet, have been studying late in the library most nights (BOO!) got exams starting next week (DOUBLE BOO!).
On a side note: considering getting a second snake, just for fun. This one wouldnt be a secret,...

Day of fun 2day! Went down to Newcastle with DiegoTheDestroyer to Newcastle to do a trade for a Retic wee Diego is all happy now). So that was a nice
Not so nice: needed a larger rub for houdini (methinks the 1 he's in is just far too small), so i got a rub off Diego that he's been keeping for me (and been using as a feeding rub in the mean time). The bad part of this being that Diego's Burm has taken to mutilating his food and thusly the rub was something of a mess (damn you Mr. Bananas!!!!)....

Got a few comments (WOO! people paying attention to me! ). Got some questions from folks:

1. Aww hes not biting you anymore! good stuff, love the blog.. how long till you move out?

I'm at uni the now, so its gonna be a while, at least 3 years (this is going to be a long blog, will stop once i get to "Operation: own a snake until i move out without my mum finding out (4000)")

2. And I would love to know in further posts, Stav, how you managed...

Another thing - Last time I fed Houdini was pretty cool. Normally I just chuck the pinkies in the box, add snake, put the lid on and leave it for a while. This time tho when I went to put Houdini in he noticed the pinkies before he even got in, curled himself around my finger then struck at the pinkie and devoured it while still attached to me

I feel like we bonded that night, like we were stalking the mice as a team (granted it was the equivelant of shooting fish in a barrell, but...

This is the Xmas special of the blog (and like all other Xmas specials: theres buggerall special about it except its happening around xmas)

Anyway: Houdini and I are both fine and my immediate family are still none the wiser. I'm contemplating upping his food size from pinkie to fuzzy in the near future, and getting him a bigger RUB (i already own the RUB, but it is being harboured by DiegoTheDestroyer for now cos i have nowhere to put it).

Some annoying developments however...
