Today the little BRB I bought arrived, he was a little cool to the touch but the temp gun showed he was almost 78F, so he was fine. BRBs require cooler temps so he was within the range he could handle. He was tightly curled into a ball in his bag, which was adorable. Once he'd been in my hands for a few minutes and warmed up, I gently coaxed him to come out of his ball. He then went to bite me, opening his mouth wide and just kinda plopping his mouth on my fingers a few times. I didn't feel anything, but he did draw some blood. I just gave him a quick look over to make sure he wasn't injured and looked cursorily for mites. I didn't see anything wrong except a slightly crooked jaw when I first got him out, but after he bit me he put it back in place. When I put him in his tub he hid away for a bit before coming back out to cruise around for several minutes and then buried himself on the cool end of his water dish. Some flash photos revealed was definitely in shed, and according to the breeder's card he last shed 3 weeks ago so he probably just began the cycle. I'll give him a week and then I'll try to feed him next week, but being in shed he may not eat. If not, I'll wait until he sheds.
The mouse shipment arrived at the same time, and the mice are smaller than I thought so I was able to fit everything in the part of the fridge designated for my rodents. I'll have to take a few rabbits back to my father's and exchange them, though, because they are too large. He needs ones 8oz or less, 6oz the most preferable, but 3 of them are 10-11oz. Woops. Today's feeding day for everyone as I was holding out on feeding Draco and Bud until the mice arrived, and I've extended Cloud's feeding to 5 weeks. Right now Cloud's rabbits are thawing out, Draco has been fed, and Bud is desperately searching for his mouse. He wouldn't strike it when I held it front of him, so I set it in his tub. He found the mice last time I did this, so I'm sure he'll find it eventually. lol

New Laptop Incoming
I'm going to be holding back on uploading a lot of photos until my new laptop arrives. There are some photos in my Stash that I want to run through PhotoShop, but my current computer can't run LightRoom since it requires the newest Windows. My old computer is also nearly 5 years old and slowly biting the dust, so a new computer is long overdue! I'll probably upload a few more photos before I get the laptop here and set up, if the photos look fine unedited, but I'd like to practice and refine using PS since I generally post unedited photos. :)
Crazy Life
Sooo....I know a long time ago I said I'd be on here again, but life has gotten pretty hectic. A basic rundown:
-I have lost all 4 of my rainbows. 3 of them have died from mysterious causes, and I lost Homura while my mom was caring for her. She either escaped and was never found, or was cannibalized. Crona also escaped (but was quickly found and is still with me to this day), and my mom put him in her tub on accident. The reason I suspect he ate her was because she was nowhere to be found, and he had a very suspicious bulge despite not eating in over 2 months at that time. So yeah. All of my other snakes appear perfectly healthy, and
Return?
After a long hiatus, I have decided that I may come back here to DA. I doubt there will be much fanfare as things are pretty dead on my account usually, but I like the more social media aspect of DA vs Flikr, as there is more to do here. I will still keep both, but I will likely just be a lot more selective here. Only downfall to DA is how clunky it is to mass upload photos. Get ready for an influx of photos sometime soon.
May Leave DA
After seeing a rash of artist's having their work stolen/sold by DA (including photographers), I am thinking of leaving DA. As of right now, I don't plan on making money from my photography, but I don't like the idea of having my work sold willy-nilly around the web. I have a bunch of photos in my st.ash right now and even more I have yet to upload but I probably won't bother. I have instead uploaded the majority of my good/good-ish photos to Flikr, and I frequent Tumblr alot so if anyone wants to follow those, my Tumblr url is odorpatrol and my Flikr is here.
I may still keep my account to browse and in case I want start coming back, but

Miyuki hasn't eaten in three of four weeks, and Sebastian hadn't either, but he just ate last week. This is really odd for them, as they usually eat throughout the Winter/Autumn, unless they are in shed sometimes. I figure its the cooler weather that came earlier than
