The tea flower tea (err, tea made from tea flowers, haha) tastes fine. Not nearly as floral as I expected, more like a really mellow oolong, with a very tiny little hint of sweetness. It's supposed to be non-caffeine, and I believe it, I didn't feel any kind of caffeine kick.

I will be ordering moar.

As for Ichigo, my ball python... I finally gave in and bought two live fuzzies. He struck right away, and smacked his nose into the side of the cage a good six inches away from the cute little wiggly fuzzy baby mouse.

Um, hi, Ichigo. That's dumb. Even for a snake.

And now I'm wondering if he's having a problem SEEING things. I know their vision isn't the greatest, but this wasn't a near miss at all. Maybe he needs glasses. Or lasik.

I think next time I buy frozen I'll see if I can get black mice, something a little easier to see.

He got it right on the second strike, and didn't have any problem with the second fuzzy, ONCE I SHOWED HIM IT WAS THERE. I had to wave it in front of him a couple of times.

Trundled over here from yankeerose69's LJ. Are you the same platedlizard that I've received reviews from on FFNet? :)

On topic: You named your pet snake Ichigo! That's so very cute. ^_^

Yes I am! Two of my critters are, er, plated lizards so... AFAIK I'm the only 'platedlizard' on Teh InterWebs, so if you run into this handle elsewhere it's probably me.

Ichigo got named because he's a 'pastel' ball python, which don't look at all pastel to me! He's black and orange, which I thought matched a certain orange-haired shinigami. He's not the first pet I named from a fandom of mine, Wesley (icon) was originally 'Wes', named after Wes Janson from Star Wars.

Cool! Hiya. :)

Oooh excellent colours for an Ichigo, I think. *grin* And Star Wars rules. 'Nuff said!
