I’d go with “Snaby”. If the kid was a few years older, we could use “Snoddler”.

Is this like the snake that swallowed the porcupine? Alas, the snake died.

If you’re going to sauté or deep fry this dish, be sure to use pure baby oil for the complete authentic flavor.

That poor snake, I hope you took it to the vet. Lumps could be from a variety of factors like parasites, blisters, and a small chance of cancer.

Please keep us updated.

Why didn’t you ask this in GQ like all the others? 😃

Yeah, I wonder how much sympathy would’ve been extended to the snake if the situation had been reversed.

But the snake didn’t fast.

But the OP can try to make the snake burp.

I am sure you are a great and caring snake handler but that is a piss poor way of producing food in bulk for your snake. The food chain is all screwed up if you do it that way (snakes can’t digest diapers very well for one thing but once probably won’t hurt him). It is much cheaper to feed your snake regularly with kittens instead of making it wait 9 months every time for a decent meal. I know you didn’t know any better but that is practically animal cruelty.

If it were a snake, it would have bitten your child. :dubious:
