Of course we came home with something.
Meet Slither, the four-month-old anerythristic Kenyan sand boa. Thankfully the little fellow (all 14.999 grams of him) eats frozen mice.
See subject line. Yup, that'd be me.

Ohhhhhhh, You are a brave woman! I would not let that live in my house:)
Awwww! We feed the piranha frozen mice. :)
Leigh, they're really tiny and cute! Plus they're burrowing snakes, so it's not as if they're going to be crawling up the bed or hiding in the cabinets or anything. Also a plus: they're not escape artists, unlike the king snakes I was also considering.
Norma, you have a piranha? Awesome! I never thought I was going to have to dedicate a container to thawing rodents, but life can take us some strange places ;)
Yes, I feel the same way about defrosting rodents! We have a Peruvian black piranha who lives in a 90-gallon tank that Josh built into the wall in our bedroom; it's quite fantastic. The piranha is not like you see on TV; he is actually rather docile and boring. We do feed him live fish sometimes, but he takes forever to kill them. I suppose in the wild where he'd (I assume he is a boy -- his name is Sashimi) have competition, he'd be more aggressive. But as he is hand-fed, so to speak, he doesn't need to binge. ;) The freezer door shelf full of frozen "fuzzies" is something, though.
