Some friends are travelling over seas to teach for a time.
They needed someone to babysit Linus their pet Corn Snake.
We said yes immediately and when they brought him 0ver we knew it was meant to be!
He's lovely and docile. Ollie was indifferent and didn't mind Linus coming in for a snuggle.
Brave kitty :) Actually, small snake so I should say brave snake.
ReplyDeleteMy human loves snakes and had a couple as a kid. Corn snakes are beautiful. Sadly, I probably wouldn't be as placid around one as Ollie. I'd probably think he was a toy.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably try to attack it, I go nutso for lizards.
ReplyDeleteWe love to attack the stray snakes that have made their way into the kitchen (much to the head peep's horror at snakes in the kitchen), so we are impressed by the interspecies cuddle time.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would be as accepting as Ollie. I used to bring home snakes from the field for my mum when we were allowed out on our own, before Eric started wandering too far.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you feed him??
ReplyDeleteLittle frozen mice called fuzzies. The must be heated up in warm water first. Since live mice can bite and damage the snake they are not recommended for small snakes.

DeleteWhat a pretty little snake. He has such beautiful markings.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he'd be a fun playmate. ;)
