Bob and George
This my friends is a totally random post about two members of my household. Ones alive, one my husband just thinks is. This is also a blatant attempt to provoke my husband into commenting on my Blog. Shall we see if it works?
So here we go…
Bob and George.
Per the request of kc Dyer here is a picture of them together.
Bob is the snake. George is the Apple device with the unfortunate name that we chose to rename “iGeorgeâ€. (iGeorge was quickly shortened to just George)
A few interesting tidbits about each:
Bob – Is a royal or ball python who is 4 years old. He has been part of our family for the past two years.
George – Has learned to recognize “iGeorge†when you start to type it and auto finishes it.
Bob – Is very friendly if a bit shy.
George – Is not alive, despite the fact that we have named him, so he is not friendly or unfriendly but he does his jobs quite well.
Bob – is a huge hit at my kids school whenever I take him there I am swamped by kids and feel like a minor celebrity.
George – is a huge hit when Jason takes him out in public. He is swamped by people and I think he feels like the coolest person around since he is the only person in our group with this new toy.

I didn’t know that you had to bathe snakes. Do they get dirty from slithering around on the floor?
It isn’t so much about them getting dirty as it is that they enjoy soaking in the water and it’s good for their skin. It helps keep them moisturized. The exercise of swimming is also very natural for them – and it helps their digestion.
So the bath is not about getting clean – there is absolutely no soap involved. In fact I make sure I rinse the tub of any soap residue before I put Bob in as that will dry his skin.
It’s just clean warm water. The kids love watching him swim. It’s great family entertainment – better than TV.
On a side note – DO NOT BATHE YOUR iGeorge – VERY BAD IDEA!!!!!
Yes, yes, you caught me. I do like being the center of attention when I go out with iGeorge (the i is silent BTW).
And no, iGeorge does not need a bath…but does require a good wipe down on a regular basis 😉
I had no idea the “i” was silent – that explains a lot.
