MITES! Nuff said really.

Peter, the newbie has mites, at the perfectest of times when no pet shops are open to get any treatments. I've tried the non-chemical approach which is to soak them and hope that the mites drown.... Have also replaced all newspaper in his RUB and boiled his water dish and hide and wiped down the RUB. Have seen a few mites hanging around in his RUB but cant see any on him. Fingers crossed.

So far I havent found any on Eleni or in her RUB, but changed...

First of all: Merry Freakin' Christmas! Its almost 1 o'clock so I better get to bed before Santa comes, but I thought I should get back on here and share the good news that I got a new pet today

He's an '09 Fire Royal (which we're ALMOST certain is male) and I have named him Peter (just need to find him a Lois now :P )

He is EXTRAORDINARILY chilled and groovy about everything, he took to me straight away (has met me a few times before as I'm mates with his previous owner)...

Do I continue to work on my dissertation or do I sit and waste time on the reptile forum???

Who are we kidding here...

For those of you who are long-time readers of my blog I haven't mentioned this yet here (although I did post in the snake forum at the time) - Houdini (my Pueblan Milk Snake) died of a suspected tumour.

Was v.sad, but he's in snake-heaven now, playing cards and drinking beer with his snake buddies (just like he used to do when he was alive...)

Been a while since I've blogged, not really had anything to blog about, the snaking stuff just isn't as interesting when I'm not having to hide it.

So I introduced Eleni to Lucy (my westie) the other night there. Was surprisingly dull. The response from both parties seemed to be:

"OMFG! WTF IS THAT?! ITS COOL! ITS COOL! ITS COO-oh I'm bored with it now..."

Stupid animals ¬_¬
