Okay, so I know that I  need to be continuing with my Ireland trip, but I’ve got to show everyone what I discovered outside my bedroom this week.

A Chucklebutt?  No, no — take a closer look.

Closer still —

So Ireland may not have any snakes, but the Gibson-Rice household is rife with them.  Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but we definitely have lots of critters running around.  I spotted him and was pretty excited about observing him.  Chuck is a regular “Crocodile Hunter” and quickly scooped him up and began to play with him.  I gave him a little stroke, but wasn’t brave enough to hold him.  Chuck didn’t think he had any teeth, but I wasn’t taking a chance.

He’s a pretty long sucker!

I even took a little video.  Please forgive the quality.  It’s more for my Mamasita and best friend Christine (she hates snakes!).

“I have had it with these monkey-fightin’ snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane!” Bwahahahahaha!
