Snakes are very clean, except their poop, that reeks and you occasionally have to pull skin out from the vivarian...
They're easy and dirt cheap to keep though, change their water every other day, feed them a mouse a week (though they can go weeks without food but they get grouchy) and change the substrate every few months. I think Rusty costs me about £10 a month on average.
I've never heard of anyone being allergic to snakes, scared yeah, allergic no. I suppose its possible.
I tend not to worry to much about the fat content of his food, the mice and rats he gets are fairly lean, just some of them can be a little on the large side. He's fairly good at moderating his own food in take though, he'll only ever eat as much as he wants. If you put two mice in and he only wants one, he'll only eat one.
Which reminds me, he's just shed his skin, taken a dump, he needs his water changed and it's feeding day.

Well the thing about Snakes is that if you don't bother them, they don't hurt you, they're almost pacifists.
For instance a Snake would never (assuming it was capable of doing so) jump into a thread just to attack someone then slither away, too cowardly to stand up for it's self, a Snake would just mind it's own business.
Hey now, I guess that makes you lower than a Snake...

Citizen - THANKS! I'll pick up some info on snakes.
Remember how you mentioned you can 'read' a lot of animals?
I saw a wonderful picure on the web of a child with CP swimming with a dolphin. Though dolphins have a structral smile in place, I swear it was looking extra happy. The kid was near the head of the dolphin, at the dorsal side, smiling with his with his arm over the side of the dolphin and his head laid down on the dolphin's side. And the dolphin was on its side, in what looked like a doplhin snuggle, with the biggest grin, eyes half closed and looking relaxed and happy.
THAT I could definitely read.

NASA must have read my post, hence postponement of launch to July 4. If the excuse is bad weather, and bad weather usually happens in the afternoon, why are they launching in the afternoon? Won't that be a depressing fireworks explosion on Independence Day?

NASA Northwoods aboard Enterprise?
The orginal Northwoods document from 1962, later the blueprint for 9/11, featured a reccomendation by the Jont Chiefs of Staff to sabotage a NASA flight and blame it on imagined enemies as pretext for war.
Capt. Eric May, U.S. Army, ret., outlines the possibility of such a scenario in relation to this weekend's schedule dlaunch of the Space Shuttle Enterprise here:

Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation
Includes The 8 Traits of A Disinformationalist
by H. Michael Sweeney

Spring/Summer 2003
5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.
6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism, reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.
9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.
17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can 'argue' with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.
18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how 'sensitive they are to criticism.'

Speaking of happy dolphins...
Quote:This story seemed just a little too neatly wrapped-with-a-bow so I looked it up. It's an actual bona-fide news article. And to think, we want to hunt them...
A humpback whale freed by divers from a tangle of crab trap lines near the Farallon Islands nudged its rescuers and flapped around in what marine experts said was a rare and remarkable encounter.
"It felt to me like it was thanking us, knowing that it was free and that we had helped it," James Moskito, one of the rescue divers, said Tuesday. "It stopped about a foot away from me, pushed me around a little bit and had some fun."....
...the rescuers had reached the whale and evaluated the situation. Team members realized the only way to save the endangered leviathan was to dive into the water and cut the ropes. It was a very risky maneuver, Stoudt said, because the mere flip of a humpback's massive tail can kill a man.
"I was the first diver in the water, and my heart sank when I saw all the lines wrapped around it," said Moskito, a 40-year-old Pleasanton resident who works with "Great White Adventures," a cage-diving outfit that contracts with Menigoz. "I really didn't think we were going to be able to save it."
...At least 12 crab traps, weighing 90 pounds each, hung off the whale, the divers said. The combined weight was pulling the whale downward, forcing it to struggle mightily to keep its blow- hole out of the water.
Moskito and three other divers spent about an hour cutting the ropes with a special curved knife. The whale floated passively in the water the whole time, he said, giving off a strange kind of vibration.
"When I was cutting the line going through the mouth, its eye was there winking at me, watching me," Moskito said. "It was an epic moment of my life."
When the whale realized it was free, it began swimming around in circles, according to the rescuers. Moskito said it swam to each diver, nuzzled him and then swam to the next one.
"It seemed kind of affectionate, like a dog that's happy to see you,'' Moskito said. "I never felt threatened. It was an amazing, unbelievable experience."
"You hate to anthropomorphize too much, but the whale was doing little dives and the guys were rubbing shoulders with it," Menigoz said. "I don't know for sure what it was thinking, but it's something that I will always remember. It was just too cool."

Yeah, when you start to watch animals it's amazing how much you can actually pickup, and sometimes despite that how much you can't...
I recently found out Rusty was actually probably a Carolina (North South whatever) Corn Snake (I though he was Californian) this page has a few images of South Carolina Corn Snakes and they’re pretty close to the spit:

Let's break it down:
How's that circle jerk going
That's a definte 18 (antagonise, goad) and a definte 5 (link with sexual deviance).
Just like at Bohemian Grove...
Again 5 (link with sexual deviance, devil worship) implied from his previous statements on Bohemian Grove.
You guys aren't sitting nekked at your computers, are you?
That would be 5 again (sexual deviance, at least implied).
Also taking the thing as a whole one has to say a 6 (Hit and Run attack) and of course a 17 (changing the subject). So that leaves 9, well not so much here perhaps, but that would be the one he trawls out when anyone tries to discuss something with him
.I mean that's nice of PN isn't it? He's actually telling us what his modus operandi is isn't he.
Thanks PN, I mean I had worked it out myself awhile back but confirmation is always nice

Citizen: Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing. So, in PN's world, this conclusively PROVES that he is indeed a commie-nazi-jew-CIA-MKULTRA-disinformationist. Look at his record; he *routinely* engages in every single one of the behaviors practiced by the disinfo-nazis.
