gwynhefarTwo by two, hands of blue . . .
So in addition to my 3 cats and 2 birds, I now have 2 snakes. Corn snakes, to be specific, and I'm actually surprised I managed to wait this long to get them. I was intending to get corn snakes in August, even had the tank all set up, and then the pet store didn't have any good looking ones so I didn't buy them. But I went there to get some of Robin's special food today and took a swing by the snakes, and sure enough, they had some fine looking snakes.
They're just babies at the moment, which means their colours won't truly show up until later. But I got one regular corn morph -- he's pretty dark right now, but he'll probably lighten a bit -- all dark red with orange spots and black and white markings. Then I got an albino -- same pattern, but the markings and spots are in shades of light pink.
The albino is Hamlet, and the dark one is Horatio. Hamlet is a little older, and thus bigger, than Horatio, and he's also more excitable. I've got Horatio in my lap right now -- Hamlet's chilling in the tank.
So yeah. I'm happy.
