"Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake"

So. Kyle went out today and bought us a new snake. This is why men should not be left unattended. I have to admit, my initial reaction was, "You're replacing Ket! No!" But having met our newest reptile, I am quite smitten with him. He's a ghost corn snake and looks a little like this:

 

Except he's only eight weeks old, so he's tiny. And adorable. *sigh* I didn't want to be happy, but then I held him and he went straight up my arm into my hair, just like Ket, and that was that. I've named him Dagon.

The good news is, Kyle spoke to a reptile expert at the centre Dagon came from, and this guy assured him that Ket will show up given time. There's very little chance of him having left the house. So now I just sit back, get to know Dagon, and wait for Number One Snake to re-emerge.

ETA: Met Dagon, Number Two Snake:

I hope Ket comes back soon! :) Your little Dagon sounds absolutely beautiful~

I know this is totally a crappy place to ask it (I'm sorry!), but I was wondering where one should buy a copy of your book from if said person wanted you to get the most funds possible from it? I know that some authors have their own bookstores, but I didn't see any on your site? Am I blind? Is there a better place to buy it from? :)

*HUGS*!

Oops, LJ ate my comment - apologies if you get this twice!

Thanks :) He is quite stunning. Him and Ket will make a fine pair, hopefully!

Umm... I'm not sure! It depends if you want ebook or print. If it's ebook, it's probably best to go direct to the publishers - Queered Fiction for Silver Kiss or Damnation Books for Afterlife. If you'd prefer print, I'd go for Amazon or the Book Depository. Thanks for wanting to support me :)

How big will he get?

I didn't want to be happy, but then I held him and he went straight up my arm into my hair, just like Ket, and that was that.

They just pull you in. :)

Could be anywhere between three and five feet long! But he'll take a few years to get to that size. Ket is about a foot and a half by my reckoning, and he's eight months old.

They just pull you in. :)

I know, right? Five minutes and they're ruling your life!

Oh, ok! Wow! lol

Exactly! :)

Awww, Dagon is so cute. Here's hoping Ket shows up soon to be his friend!

[naomi-jay.livejournal.com]

He's a bit too adorable. I think he and Ket will make a fine matching pair.

Dagon is very, very pretty. Hopefully Ket grows bored of wandering and comes home soon, though.

[naomi-jay.livejournal.com]

I hope so! If nothing else, he should be pretty hungry by now.

LOL! So you were spot on with your expectations :)

Right down to the colour variation he chose, spookily enough!
