Re: May not qualify as a funny story.
I guess my next "click" is to see what Jar contained here.
This picture of a snake below might not also count as funny. I had to make this creature my "pet". But despite Cornell being ranked as one of the best schools to eat one's way through the sname might not perfer this fare given what in the tumbnail picture I am thinking every time I force a salamander or worm down its throught. If it learns to eat on its own I will stop that practice.
It is unfortunate that pictures count for so much more than words. I dont feel like writing 2,000 words to Modulous to show this "belly" which he might see as the tail it is not. This is actually a picture of the head of the snake. You just can't see it. I made sirtalis a pet because I reached TOO far down in the strata looking for fossils and i roc'd a rock over on it's created tail. So this is either a picture of a stone without a fossil or a snake head not it's food. You decide. It is a pet anyway now.

Re: May not qualify as a funny story.
The only thing about "cold"bloods is that people over transfer the kinds of empathy they do for hamsters etc, if not on to them, onto their owners. The discoloration not red near the tail are the reasons I am keeping this one. I want to run it's lipids through an HPLC but I dont have access just now.
Anyway writing to you is more interesting than trying to twist my head upside down in THAT other thread going on concurrently. God Bless.

Re: Pet Snakes
Hi bberry;
snakes came up in another discussion I am having on-line
more about my interests and a database proposal (Brad McFall 08/25/2005)
didn't know!! (Sharon Wavle/SUNY 08/25/2005)
Snakes (Christopher Horey 08/25/2005)
zeroing in on a database topic (Brad McFall 08/27/2005)
Snakes and databases (Christopher Horey 08/28/2005)
Yea, it is hardly a problem for humans. As a teenager however I was bit well over a couple hundred times by the critters that I became allergic simply to their saliva. A prof in Pennsylannia was interested in that. I haven't beem bitten lately and I never had a snake over 5 ft (a black racer which amazingly didnt bite when I "caught" it ( I stepped on its tail. It had about 4 feet to use but did not)).
I hope you all didnt get too wet down there.
