Humphrey the Mexican milk snake

"Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."
W. C. Fields

Another pet blip. What on earth do people without pets do for last minute late-night blips?

Humphrey - he's gorgeous and friendly, and spends a fair amount of his time wrapped round my neck when we're at home. He's getting on a bit now - I think he's around about 16 or so.
