Good thing you don't have albinos- those are supposed to be super-"evil!"

For some reason, your statement above reminded me of one of my favorite books, "The Fourth Hand" by John Irving.

Television reporter Patrick Wallingford becomes a story himself when he loses his hand to a caged lion while in India covering a circus. The moment is captured live on film, and Patrick (who wears a "perpetual but dismaying smile--the look of someone who knows he's met you before but can't recall the exact occasion") is henceforth known as the lion guy. Before long, plans are made to equip Patrick with a new hand. Doctor Nicholas M. Zajac, superstar surgeon, indefatigable dog-poop scooper, runner, and part-time father, is poised to perform the operation. But the donor--or rather the widow of the donor--has a few stipulations. Doris Clausen wants to meet the one-handed reporter before the procedure, and insists on visitation rights afterward. Irving weaves these characters and a panoply of others together in a smart, funny, readable narrative. Often farcical, The Fourth Hand is ultimately something more: a tender chronicle of the redemptive power of love.

The albinos don't really appeal to me... yet. But I could have said the same for striped corns once, and I've changed my mind on that. :)

Sounds interesting. Maybe I'll pick it up. The only John Irving book I've read is The Hotel New Hampshire. I liked it-- I think, but it didn't make me anxious to read his other novels. But I was younger and saner when I read it; I might like his stuff better now. ;)

I doubt that rosy boas have any more bacteria in their mouths than any other snake. Some people have differing sensitivities to the saliva components of different snake species.

Yeah. I've just heard that some snakes have more bacteria than others and if you get bitten you can get a pretty bad infection.
 
You think a Rosy bite is bad wait for a bite from one of them BCC.........

I was at a show once holding a rosy had to be 1000g + and she latched onto my vall of my hand and held on, we had to pry her off.......:sidestep:




They look great Dean.
 
If you need it Roy I can send you some of my saliva, it cures pretty much everything even dry itchy scalp




I'm a big fan of rosy boas...bred for their skills in mental disabilities or not.

Ewwwwwww. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't want to be bitten by that. Do those snakes have a lot of bacteria in their mouth?

I don't know, Dean, I see a little green moving in on those little marks. We may have to amputate.

I hope not. That's the middle finger of my dominant hand! It gets a fair amount of use. :grin01:
 
Thumb, okay; pinky, sure; but, how did you get tagged on your middle finger. What were you doing, the Vulcan hand sign?

:sidestep:

I honestly couldn't tell you how it happened. I think I was holding the back half of her body with her front half hanging down. That's how I usually hold my kings if I think there's a chance of a feeding-response bite. It keeps their faces away from my hand. I guess she just pulled her head up and got me. :shrugs:

When I told my co-workers that my freezer has more snake food (pinkies, peach fuzzys, rat pinkies, rat fuzzys, lg mice, day old quail and week old chicks) everyone said that they will not come to my house for dinner. They just don't understand how I can have my snakes food in the same freezer I keep our food. Go figure :shrugs:

This is how cool my co workers are: when I asked if it was cool with everyone if I got my 'snake food' delivered to work, and keep it in the freezer there for a few hours, they were all fine with it! And yes, they knew snake food was frozen mice. I even had my snake at work for a few hours, and everyone loved him. Joel even tried to convince his wife to let him get one, but she wouldn't let him.
