He found it in your Aunt Pat's creek area. We kept it in a tank with water, thinking it should be wet. It needed to be able to dry out and it died. I felt so bad that I let him buy a six foot long King snake. For many years this was a treasured pet in our house. The downside was that it ate live mice. Donny sold it eventually, but he enjoyed it a lot. It had good shock value for his friends too, which boys love. Your stories on here about Isaac remind me of Donny.

Maybe if you have enough dirt his pet will stay around! Every spring as I am digging in my flower beds, I wake up toads that have slept there all winter.
