Early Christmas present for me, and a smart way for the generous family member to
a) knock off one Christmas present early and
b) ensure delivery of sloe gin

So, despite my best efforts to ensure that this time I am not the one who has to look after a child’s pet, the snake now recognises it’s me when I’m opening her vivarium and that she’s probably going to get fed. Sadly she’s right because somehow I am stuck with the job.
