Just dying to share with SOMEone as my family and friends think I'm nuts! Haven't had snakes for decades until early this spring when I rescued a milk snake hatchling from the cat at my folks farm. After months of trying unsuccessfully to get it to eat, it finally expired. I was frustrated and guilt ridden, but what the experience DID teach me was how much I missed owning snakes. Ordered a Western Hoggie which just arrived this morning. Wasn't sure what to expect, but he was calm and totally nonaggressive when I removed him from the shipping container and immediately started exploring his new "digs". After a couple of hours he was still very active so I offered him a thawed pinkie, which he took from my fingers immediately. I'm THRILLED!! After eating, he curled up in his hiding spot and I haven't seen him since, but I'm already "smitten".
Can it REALLY be this easy?
