Meet the newest member of our family, Slizzy

Or Ruby, depending on SonofV's mood at the moment. He is a (he I think...) corn snake. Amelanistic corn snake, to be precise. That means no black in his pigmentation.

He came to us by way of our local PetCo, along with the whole rig, tank, bowl, litter, heater, lid, landscaping, and a Pinkie! How SonofV convinced MrsV to get a snake remains something of a mystery to me...but he's (SonofV) waaaay cuter than I am, and thus has different advantages.

Enjoy the pictures!

Having won the wrestling match with Picassa, Hello, and Blogspot, I now have the pleasure of introducing our newest family member:

I wanted to call him Upsilon but I though I'd get tired of having to explain why...

Sun_Sparkz · 09-27-2005, 07:20 PM

wow, he is really cute! and so tiny.. not even a snake more like a toy!!

i hope you enjoy him

Sun_Sparkz · 09-27-2005, 07:21 PM

BigV · 09-27-2005, 07:26 PM

Desk job, ma'am. But I can dig up a picture of them engaged in some real work, if you like.

bluecuracao · 09-27-2005, 07:34 PM

Hmm, I can't see the snakey pics, just those pesky red x boxes.

Not exactly a hijack, but am still getting aquainted with Blogger. Here's my blog, and the most recent posts to it of Slizzy's meal. It's a nice sequence of pictures, and the process of taking the pictures, using Picassa to manage the pics, Hello to post to Blogger has left me a little exhausted. I think it turned out nice. Check them out and feel free to comment, here or on the blog.

Speaking of which... As I posted this sequence of pictures, it took me less than a quarter hour during which I accumulated several comments. Excited at the activity my pictures were generating, I checked out the comments. Too bad. Turns out they were all spam.

Work from home, etc, etc.

Question: for those bloggers in the audience, how to you keep the crap out?

Tonchi · 09-28-2005, 12:51 AM

You need to have Wolf bless him for you. Just curious, howcome he didn't get named Slytherin?

wolf · 09-28-2005, 12:57 AM

I thought the marking on his head looked like a Lambda ... (cuz mostly you'll be looking down on his head with his tail pointed towards you)

Here's hoping that SonOfV has an excellent and enjoyable time learning with and about Slizzy!

And I hope that MrsV doesn't freak out too much the first time he escapes from his enclosure.

SonofV picked the name. All I do is write the checks. And pick out the poo.

I thought lambda too, but it's more symetrical, and I usually try to face him, but he could really care less.

Thanks! I had snakes when I was his age, a five foot boa constrictor named Hercules and a 6-7 foot anaconda that gave birth to 40 babies, one of which had two heads! I got pulled out of class that day, I'll always remember that fondly.

I am firmly in denial about this scenario, but I'm sure the cats are biding their time.

Lower case lambda. Not a big Lamda.

Sun_Sparkz · 09-28-2005, 01:59 AM

wow 40 babies?! you woulda made a fortune! (if you were selling them)

So how big will Slizzy grow? How big is his tank? He looks to small to eat mice... what are you feeding him? fly's and stuff?

Well, at least you won't have to worry about any unexpected babies.
