Dear Sam The Bastard, you are a rat snake. Specifically, a yellow rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta quadrovittata) - and in the wild, your diet would consist, mainly, of rats.

That's why you're called a rat snake.

So when I put a nicely defrosted, warmed up weaner rat in your cage, you're supposed to eat it. Eat it with the same gusto and lack of table manners you exhibit when I give you mice or chicks. Get it?

Not hide behind your bloody water bowl and cower!

...

Stupid snake.

In other news, the royals fed today (I'm amazed, I only brought them home yesterday and was expecting at least a month of hunger strike), and the hatchling corn I was going to give to my sister for her birthday has caused a row in their household. Because her husband isn't keen on snakes, and is apparently throwing a hissy fit about having another one in the house.

Stupid man.

Also, I am driving down to Southampton tomorrow to see Zico, and of course now I can't sleep. Bah.

From what you've told us of Sam I really can't imagine him cowering at anything!
