Snake!!

Today, after my mom got home from Wyoming, we were looking through the stuff she brought home. We were all about to disperse, when, someone called my mom. She said, "Ok" and then said to my dad, "Lyf, you need to go help my mom, there's a snake in her house and she's freaking out." (As many of you know, my Grandma Reeve is terribly scared of snakes.) Dad said Ok and started to go. Mom said, "No, like run, now." He took for the door. Of course, everybody asked where he was going. Mom told them what was going on and then we all bolted.

When we got to Grandma's house, she was standing in the great room with her hands over her face. Dad was over by her and was looking for the snake. I spotted the snake in the bathroom. Grandma looked like she was about to faint. She was taking deep breaths and still had her hands over her eyes. I asked her if she was going to have a heart attack. She said, "If you hadn't caught it, I would have!" My mom came in and burst out laughing. I left her to take care of Grandma and went with dad to see the snake.

We got it outside and decided to keep it as a pet. It is a king snake and is about 9 inches long. He is know as Fred, my name, Oreo, Bryn's name, Milky-way, the other girls' name, and Bandito, my dad's name.

     Here are some pictures of him in his new home:

When I went up to Bryn's room, (where he is now staying), to get these pictures, he was not in the terarrium. He had escaped. But then I found him and put him back in. I would have let my dad do it, but I wasn't scared because he is so small and his bite feels like a poke. My dad told me. There was a hole in the roof of the thing. So we fixed it! :) But, I am still glad that it is in Bryn's room because if it escapes during the night.. :/
Too bad for Bryn! ;) I hope Fred cannot climb stairs....
