Edinburgh trip, Uni, and the Snakes

Thought I´d put up an interesting update... I´ve got a trip with the Uni coming up (12th April -16th April) going to Edinburgh Zoo to study dominance hierarchies within a group of animals and a study of optimality theory - which will involve recording time spent foraging compared to time spent being vigulant for predators. I´ve got my transport and accomadation sorted, booked the zoo tickets through the uni - we will also have behind the scenes tours and keeper talks! Only problem is I have a terrible anxiety disorder and this is the first time I´ve traveled so far on my own so will be utterly nerve-racking for me but got to keep telling myself "you´ll be able to take lots of pictures of pretty animals when you get there" lol.

Will be going to Chester Zoo with the Uni 17th March too! That trip will be much less nerve-racking for me though lol.

Have also picked up a few supplies from the hardware store so I can get to work customising the snakes vivarium! I´m going to do a fake rock background with a couple of ledges which I´ll place hides on so they´ll have several different hides to choose from rather than just the 2 that I can fit in the viv at the moment! I´ll also purchase lot´s of fake leaves decorations and a climing branch too. It´ll be so much more interesting in there for them once I´ve finished it! :D

JD and Benny have also been seperated ultra early this year so no chance of any more little babies...well...unless JD´s managed to retain some sperm from last year and impregnates herself...I will be very disapointed in her if she does lol, as I plan to actually go on holiday this year! :P
