You will never see it coming. Through the tall grass it slithers unseen, unnoticed, silent. But it has seen you, its sensitive tongue flicking your scent from the air, its beady eyes tracking your every move. You feel only a slight sting at first. Then another. Then one after the other, and soon you fall helpless under a barrage of vitamin-fortified oat projectiles. Only then do you see the face of the fiend who beat you: the dreaded Cereal Killer!

Cheerios? Really? You couldn’t have gone with Lucky CHARMS?

That was the worst pun in this site’s hisstory, John B.

Shout out to Phred’s Mom who says “You keep me sane.” Indeed, sanity is a wonderful thing in small doses, but now it’s time to go a little crazy for two cute snakes named after breakfast foods: Donut, an African house snake; and Waffles, a Kenyan sand boa. Donut has a toy donut!

While Waffles, true to his nature, loves to bury himself in the sand, then peek out to say hello!
