Congratulations Colin he seems to be saying Hi Grandad wheres dinner

[Guest]

It just never ceases to be magical; the breach, the animation and the first curious interactions with the rest of the world. It's a little piece of God, even for those of us that are not particularly religious.

Congratulations and best of luck getting them to good homes!

We have just given a home to one of God's animals.

It should do well we feed it water it give it a bed & well heating during the winter. It will become really at home in this peaceful atmosphere

O yes we are kind. But it is not the wretched cat it is a mouse she brought in & then let it go in the kitchen from where it has darted dramatically into one of the many holes left by stupid kitchen installers where now there is a mouse trap do not let the cat near as she will take it play with it then release it in another part of the house & then wife will plant so many mouse traps around the house that I will be frightened to sit down go to bed or even the loo as it will certainly come out & climb up my leg then she will clean down the kitchen tops three times before putting any food we eat on the top no thought for the mouse's food what so ever then the magnifier will come out to spot any droppings hoover out vacumn the whole house down to B & Q to hire a carpet cleaner & I will have left home to live at the Zoo as this would seem the safest place to be.

PS thinks omission not thinking straight we have not named it yet !

[Guest]

seems like a lot of bother Laurie...... a fortification to the fact that i don't do cats.

Also with all these snakes here ............................ we don't have mice

@ Daniel .... you're quite correct, you dont have to be religious to have the feeling there's something to it all.

whichever ones go to new homes they'll be sure of a good life as we'll only pass them on to people who are educated in the husbandry of reptiles.

[Guest]

Well he decided to make a full appearence overnight

A quick bath and Ta-Da ...

Well done Colin. any signs of life in the other eggs yet?

[Guest]

We've cut "slits" in the other eggs (just to give them a helping hand) and there's movement in most.

The little chap above weighs in at a massive 44 grammes by the way, a far cry from his mum and dad at about 2 kilo.

Just have to wait for the new hatchlings to have their first skin shed and we can attempt to feed them.

My friend Phill had a 11 foot burmese he had to give it to the cotswold wildlife park.

[Guest]

my last Burmese was a 15+ft female albino who died of old age a few years ago. we've got a 6 ft male albino here at the mo. just waiting for him to grow up a bit (mentally that is)

[Guest]

5 hatched out of 6 eggs so far, we've slit the last egg a little more to make it even easier for the remaining little'un.
