Wonderful story, Karl. Ken gave me my morning laugh and you and Rufus gave me my warm fuzzy.
I can't tell a snake lover (or hater) just by looking, that's for sure; but Rufus could! I didn't know even know Rufus drank wine, either
.
Speaking of mine, it just so happened that both of my corn snake girls got fed last night, so there are two full tummies and curled up sleeping snakes here this morning. Intellectually, I know some folks don't like them, but in my heart I can't understand it.
