well, I'm not diabetic. Doctor says it could be a urinary infection (wouldn't I be able to tell?) or possibly thyroid problems. Blood test appointment and antibiotics in case it's the infection thing.

have felt like shit on a stick all day, and the bus ride out there in the heat was ghastly enough before the 498328474 eleven year old schoolkiddies piled in.

...although I have my doubts about them actually being schoolchildren. I think they may actually have been baboons executing a cunning plan to escape from captivity using purloined school uniforms and bus passes. Hard to tell. There were no tails showing but the shrieking, swinging up and down the bus and flinging each other's property about (no poo, but there was a shoe and s football) was a bit of a giveaway.

got home and played with dogs. Cassie is refusing to eat the rabbit I defrosted today. She sometimes does this with the mince; sometimes you get a pack with a lot of fatty bits in it and she doesn't like that. I bought her some fresh herrings while I was out. Let's see if she likes those.

am now going to take my headache and lie down. ugh.

Edited to add: Cassie fell on the raw herring and tore into it like Homer Simpson on a pizza. YAY!

drat...I posted a long reply & it died?
I think maybe the pic was too big & it broke. SOME yellow rat snakes look like what you describe, but not the ones native to Fl. The ones here look like this: http://www.stetson.edu/~pmay/woodruff/corn.jpg
I was commenting that Joshua spent as much time out of his tank as in, was strongly bonded to me (would bite others), went out in public under my clothes & would dart his head out to frighten people, liked to sleep with me curled up under my clothes, etc etc. He was a great pet with plenty of interaction. 'bout 5 1/2 feet long, couple of inches around, and sweet as can be.
I miss him.

isn't that a corn snake?

I'm sure they can tell the difference between you and another person but you can't say the relationship is like the one you can have with a cat or a dog, can you?

I like snakes. They're beautiful and lovely to handle. I'm just not going to have any of my own again.

Corn snakes & rate snakes are the same critters/species. That species is refered to as "yellow rat snakes" (and sold that way) here even tho their markings are more traditionally corn snake. It's a regional thing.
And I am CRITTER MAN. All animals love me.
They speak to me!
Meeeee alone!
