Firstly i open the box (still holding the snake absentmindedly) and the chicks aren't in a seperate bag but simply loose around the mice loosely wrapped in a tesco bag wrapped in bubble wrap,and myself shabbily opening the tesco's bag in one hand resulted in my throwing a couple of very dead chicks across the room... This was the first stumbling block for my mind the second was the fact the for a day old, chicks are a dam site bigger than i imagined... So im standing there totally perplexed as to what im going to do with 20chicks which are far to big i didn't notice the snake in my right hand sliding towards the chick in my left hand...
Until of course it struck...
My thumb...

Now to add insult to injury, as i prize the snake from one hand, he immediately latches onto my other hand thinking he's been robbed of a meal... both hands i cry!
