so what is everyone up to this long weekend? lets start the count down! only 3 1/2 hours to go for me!

I'm looking into getting a pair of Arafura File Snakes. When i first saw one, i thought it was hideous, but for some reason or other they have grown on me. What is everyone else's opinions on these fascinating snakes?

I will try to run trivia in forum now. every evening after 7 pm i will put question to our members in this forum. First correct answer will get the point. I know that people will be lucky to get the question first but it is just fun and please do not take this to seriously. First question...
