Ok seems sorted. Except for the fact that I am going to Hawaii soon and I will have no one to give it to. Which means I am going to have to wait until January..which sucks nuts!

Thanks for all the help though!

I just got back from dealing with a corn snake. Damn thing was 4' 7" long, well if I'd have straightened it out better it wood have been closer to 4' 9". I was heading out for a while, and it was laying in my drive way right in front of the garage. I took a broom, and tried to push him out in the yard, but it went into attack mode. Coiled up, and started striking at me, and even advanced on me several times. I try to never kill a non venomous snake around here, because they keep the rodent population in check, but this snake was really aggressive for some reason. I keep a 22 rifle loaded with rat shot in the garage, for killing water moccasins. I regretfully had to use it on the wicked corn snake today. This was really weird, the land next to my house is undeveloped, and usually the snakes just head back over there. It's over there right now in a grave.

I was just about to suggest that. Good stuff, won't hurt too much other than the snake/rat.
