So this monday I went and got myself a young amel corn snake. He's a pretty little thing. I decided to name him Gideon. Well, that is if I determine its a boy by candling it tomorrow. I just fed him last night and heard it isn't good to handle them for about two days. If he turns out to be a she I have no idea what I'll be naming her. Honestly I hope its a he. Why? My dog of 11 years passed away 3 weeks ago. My dog was female and she was everything to me. I don't feel ready yet to use female terms of endearment for another creature just yet. That probably sounds silly but, anyway, if my little Gideon is female I will love her anyway.
