    An old boyfriend of mine had a snake. It was a huge (well it looked huge to me). He used to keep it in his bedroom and occasionally the thing used to escape. He used to throw in a chicken and wait._pale_ Within minutes the chicken would be no more and he could go in and pick up the snake. I dunno what happened to the snake, to be honest, i didnt stick around long enough to find out.

  • Hi Martin,

    Who fed your wonderful pets?

    Who always got his sleeve wet when feeding Borris?

    Henning now knows who was named after him?


    It was actually great money saving as none of our friends would come to dinner parties and your sister left the country for 15 years.


    ps your snake is still missing.

    Nice to see you on here Dad! (but nothing too embarassing please)

    And i did feed most of them - though Boris the axolotl was a special case, it was me who put the crickets in for Henning!
