I just got back from Moscow.... it was crazy and fun.

Lots of great art there. 'Specially public art, like statues and monuments.

I'll be back in three weeks or so.


wish me luck.......

I've been wanting a giant malagasy hognose snake for a long time. I remembered seeing one about a year ago, while I was buying my blood python, and a (not too near-by) reptile store. The store was really crappy and the people who worked there were asses, so I decided not to get my python there, and never to shop there again. I kept thinking...
