Hmm... I've played I, II, III, IV, VI (a tiny bit), VII, VIII, IV (again, a tiny bit), X and XII. Never played V I don't think, or if I did it was a loooong while back.
I and II are meh, kinda have no story... but they're great fun nevertheless. The rest I loved, with XII being my all time favorite.
And and if I were to guess, I think FFXIII will top them all.
Also, Jayne is looking thin-ish. More of a "I haven't eaten in fifteen days" kinda thing instead of "I'm starving" . No wrinkles, folds, or ETC. If I didn't know better, I'd think I had a healthy snake. Eyes are clear and bright, swelling is gone completely, and he's happily exploring his cage.
Forgot IX. I've played that one for about an hour, in the middle of my friend's profile. He was stuck... and didn't want to grind (wimp). Soooo I had some fun leveling. ^_^
Aaaand going on that, yeah. Just wait a few more days before attempting another feed. I'm thinking he's getting back to normal and will be hungry then.
I hope so. Yesterday, he was happily exploring his cage. As of a few hours ago, he's just been stretched out in one spot near his water dish. Too, he's starting to look thin. He seriously looked fine a few hours ago. >_<
No, I wouldn't try that yet. I'd try the famous "paper bag" method. Put him and the pinkie in the bag overnight (put the bag in his cage so it isn't cold). That is one of the oldest tricks in the book, and maybe it'll get him to eat. It's worked for me in the past, and it's worked for many a snake breeder/keeper/whatever.
Don't give up.
btw, do you use tongs? I'm sorry, I'm just drawing a blank as to whether or not you've told me. XD
I don't know why...He looked fine, and explored his cage all of today. I picked him up tonight, and his stomach was all wrinkled. I got him a mouse, but he started going all crazy as I put him in his feed box then he just...died.
I'm sorry...I feel sick, but I also can't help but feel I let you down...
He looked fine earlier (getting better, at least?), and yet then... just died? I wonder if you got a snake with parasites in his belly. Seriously, that's all I can think of it being (especially if he was acting weird, that's exactly what my one ball python with parasites did right before blood came through the nose and he died). You didn't let me down, man. If everything you've told me is correct in how you've been caring for him... well, I don't believe it was anything you did. Corns just aren't hard to care for, and with all the crap that you were getting all I can think of was he was sick before you even got him. I honestly don't think you did anything wrong.
I'm really sorry, man. I wish I could have done more.
Thanks. But I still feel bad assuming it wasn't bad genetics (which, oddly, are a problem with captive bred corns. Especially the strange morphs requiring heavy breeding) I could've treated the parasites if I'd known he had them.
He completely changed my family's feelings about snakes though. My Mom cried when he died. She told me she never thought she would get attached to a snake. So there's that.
What think you of Buffy Season 6? I know Obi hates it, but I actually kinda love it.
I don't get the hate for it, honestly. Do I think the ending to 5 was a pretty good way out? Yeah, I guess so. But I also think it's cheap. "Here, let's kill her and end the series". I like 6, and thought it did a great job of bringing her back.

Did the chumbly wumbly bear come a tumblin down?
Yeah... genetics... the thought actually crossed my mind about it being something like that. You had a candy cane, which is an extremely selectively bred morph. That can and has caused problems in the past.
It's kinda why I don't own anything except normal... everything. Most people call me paranoid or stupid for staying away from the non-natural morphs, but I dunno. As beautiful as some of them are, there's just always that thought of man has been messing with their genes. That's a little disturbing, imo. XD
Buuut I'm sure I'll give in sooner or later.
And Chozon... that's awesome that he changed your family's feelings on snakes. Really, really awesome. I wish more people would try to understand snakes better (as well as all reptiles, but snakes especially). They're a fantastic species to keep, and truly wonderful. Not to mention that most serpents are tamer than your family dog. Unless of course you do the famous "hold a rat and then your snake" thing. <_<
But yeah. My thoughts are with you Chozon. Don't give up, they're amazing creatures and I still think you'd make a great reptile keeper.
I dunno...I guess had I really thought it through, I would've gone with a normal. But who knows how that would've gone down? Everything is in God's hands, so...Yeah.
