My room smells like a dirty mouse cage even though I cleaned it less than 20 hours ago.
The mice must meet their destiny soon.
(Rico goes chomp.)
I decided to try my luck at revamping Lola's cage tonight. I scooped out all the ReptiBark and replaced it with peat moss and fir bark. I put a few live plants in there...one of them is kind of close to the heating pad underneath the tank so I'm hoping the roots doing get fried. Lola was quite wary of everything at first ("What the fuck did you do to my cage?!") but I think she's adapting. For the first time in ages she's not completely curled up in her hide.
I'm starting to think of my snakes a bit more like the cats and dogs. Sure, they can survive with the bare minimums (food, water, shelter) but why not give them more? And why give them only ONE kind of food? Someone told me that it's fine to only give your snake mice for its entire life because it's eating the whole animal, but my cats eat mice whole and I still wouldn't dream of putting them on mice-only diets.
I had a job interview today. It was for a typist job (starting wage is over $13/hour) at the old sanatorium/tuberculosis building, which is the coolest building in existance. No more than 10 minutes into the interview, which had been going pretty well, I find out I can't take the job anyway because I have to start school in the fall and their hours end at 4. And the person who called me and scheduled the interview is this really nice woman I know from working at the pet store and apparently she'd recommended that they hire me and said I was really nice and helpful. Too bad

Wow. Something your scorpion and my brain have in common!
