well, I guess it is a plan but he just doesn't seem, well, warm and cosy and fluffy.
True, not warm and cozy and fluffy (actually, Fluffy is what I wanted to name him.)
But being nocturnal he comes out and dances all night under the black light over his tank (the blacklight is for his benefit, not ours). It's like looking at a living lava lamp. We have to keep the room dark, lest we disrupt his nocturnal rhythms. My wife and I pull up chairs and sit in the dark in front of the cage watching Pyewacket dance in the purple light while I massage my wife's feet which she places in my lap.
It's not like having a kitty, but it does have a certain charm. My wife thinks the snake is cute and loves to watch him dance all night.
