Snake Bite


Here is Zion's first official scar as a budding herpetologist. He learned a valuable lesson about getting between a snake and its food--and about not petting his snake when it's getting ready to eat!

Mom emerged as the hero after donning leather gloves and prying the 3 and a half foot python's jaws off Zion's hand, where it was trying to digest the meat between his thumb and pointer finger.

Zion recovered quickly and had a cool scar to show off at school, although I got an interesting phonecall from the school nurse the next day. Waiting for a call from DCFS any day now...
