I wonder if the eggs give you a minty fresh breath or some sort of drug rush?

Thanks Dassie! They take my breath away!
My husband is sitting behind me saying no! no!
No more snakes.
And I am saying, come on! They are small! You'll never notice them!

Someone caught one of these snakes for me and in the 2 hours it took for us to drive and fetch it the snake has escaped. I was heartbroken. That was over 20 years ago. I need to "find closure".

My list of snakes for 2009 is growing.
A pair of these, a pair of auroras, the eggies and a pair of garden boas. That sounds reasonable doesnt it?
