Kingsley and now Louise


I got Kingsley a friend.  Louise the Western Hognose.  While waiting for the Snake Shop guy to get my food for Kingsley I held this little one and thought she was so cute and fun to hold.  He offered half price so I said "OK".  She can flip sand with her nose, its quite neat.  But they cannot be in the same habitat, Kingsley would eat her and she might poison him.  She's venomous but not too venomous.  4 or 5 inches at most right now but will reach about 2 feet.  I can't get her to eat though.  What's a girl to do?

Way to take in the reptiles! Ya know, they don't get love like dogs and cats do. It is really a shame! Maybe you can start a reptile foundation! I can't join though. I couln't even feed crickets to our fire belly toad "Neon." Your a saint!

I'm a friend of Melissa's and I just love your blog. I love reading your posts! My brother is Jed. Melissa and I want you two to go out so badly. I just called my brother and told him he better call you. I hope that is okay. He's been really busy with school but I just have this hunch that you guys will hit it off...you never know I could be wrong, but hopefully not.:) LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!

I think its important that everyone knows that Louise is the most poisonous snake you can legally buy. T- you are definitely down playing it. She is really cute, but still scary!

Karrie my love. To be exact he said it was the most poisonous snake that he could sell....in his store. And if I hold her a lot she is less likely to strike. A lot of people have hognoses as pets my dear.

So I had a dream last night that Louise killed Kingsley!! You were so upset. Crazy huh. I think its a sign.

terynmendenhall said...

Oh my Karrie...I really hope you keep dreaming about reptilians. That still kills me.

Teryn, you never cease to amaze me. Honestly I would have to lay in bed and think up these crazy things like where should I go live for months, or what pet you should buy, man even the random things that come out of your mouth...I would have to contemplate for hours just to come up with them. I love in your "about me" you wrote, I am a Teryn. It is definately a envious quality, but very true, the Teryn we know and love is the one and only Teryn. I miss ya!
