Apparently Chronos decided "If Jasper can explore by himself, then I can too!" because I came home after grocery shopping today to find a pile of poop OUTSIDE of an empty tank. He barely willingly leaves his tank when I want him out, and in three years (two? How old is he...) he has never escaped. Jerk. I really need to get my stands put back together, because their cage pins get kicked and unclipped with them sitting on the floor. #chronossnake #cornsnake #snakesofinstagram #colubrid #anery #anerycornsnake

Happy New Year from Mr. Chronos "Please-Dont-Make-Me-Leave-My-Pumpkin-Mom" Noodle. He really didn't want to come out today, but that's fine because he's STILL SO DANG CUTE LOOKIT THOSE PUPPY EYES. #chronossnake #cornsnake #snakesofinstagram #colubrid #anery #anerycornsnake

I rearranged the noodle house today after its monthly deep clean and I gotta say I like it a little better. It's a little harder to find him now because of the way I've arranged it, but I'm more confident about his lack of escape skills after having him this long. He rarely climbes the sides at night anymore, searching for a way out. However, Chronos is growing way faster than I expected (he shed AGAIN today! that's three times in five months!) and I think we're gonna have to upgrade to a 20 long very shortly. He is still the best and cutest noodle anyone could ever ask for. I REALLY want to get another snake soon (probably a ball python) and I'm actually a little worried! Chronos is SO chill and SUCH a good eater/shedder that I'm afraid of disliking any snake that isn't equally as amazing as Chronos.

Hanging out with the lap noodle, watching dumb YouTube videos on the TV. Heck yes. Lovely day off. Also his head is starting to look more snake-shaped and less "body with a face" baby noodle shaped. He's growin' up, gettin' so big! He'll be shedding again in a couple days, too!

Guess who turned one year old todaaaaayyyy! I tried to put a tiny party hat on him but he wasn't having any of that nonsense. Happy egg hatchy day to the best noodle puppy anyone could ever ask for!

My noodle always makes me feel better. Dat puppy faaaaceeee.

Holding Chronos for a bit made me feel a little better. I know they say that snakes don't have the capacity to feel connections with their humans, but that's not going to stop be from loving that dumb noodle and finding comfort in him gently squeezing my arm or curling up in my hair.

As of today's shed Chronos has surpassed the 2 foot mark! He's growing faster than I ever would have thought! When I got him he could wrap around my wrist twice, so he was only about 15-17ish inches long. I'm gonna cry he is just the best noodle anyone could ever ask for.
