for tonight's failed attempt at coaxing her relatively stubborn python into eating, the girl purchased some feeder goldfish on the way home from work. —it is my understanding that one of her snake charmin' pals suggested that her own snakes liked to 'slurp them down' when they weren't in the mood for de mices.
though vinnie, (the snake), was clearly entertained by the goldie in his water bowl, i can't say he appeared even the slightest bit tempted by this savory treat. one can only imagine that after ten years of associating small furry mammals as "food," seeing the same quality in an immersed swimming fish would require a decisive cognitive jump.
thus bewildered about how best to handle her 3, suddenly spare feeder-fish, a rapid negotiation ensued; i am now the keeper of three new desktop friends. :D
unfortunately, i have no goldie bowls readily at my disposal... so they'll have to spend the night in vases. hope they do ok until better arrangements can be made tomorrow.
