    I like the way even after she puts them in the bin, they immediately slither out and start hugging her again

        I’m sure alfie was cute and adorable when she last saw him a few years ago.

        Strangely enough, Alfie’s adolescence is happening on a human timescale, despite him being a small reptile.

          Not uncommon ‘monst the transgenic, it seems.

          Snakes, and most reptiles, are long lived. 20 or so wouldn’t be out of line for your pet corn snake or boa. They’ll live even longer out in the wild, under the sun, and off a hamster only diet.

          13 would be old for reptile puberty though.

            Physical puberty, sure. But if their psyches are human derived, it may make sense for it not to follow physical changes so closely and develop more slowly.

            And let’s not forget that transgenic cobras probably live longer than normal cobras. How are they supposed to avenge you if they die before they can set up an adorable revenge plan?

    We can always hope he’s in the final stages of Miri’s Disease… Cruel, but briefer than puberty, the disorder whose sufferers are those *near* the patient…

    So, I remember that Virginia was covered in adorable cobras before, but I can’t recall when or why. Any hints?

      She was visiting Nick when Moustachio’s evil gears kicked in during Tin Soldier, & ended up helping evacuate the building. The cobras decided that her blouse smelled like librarian.

      GammarayConon: Same way he does the “eyes half closed” thing without having any eyelids. He is that cool. Or whatever the word is.

      Looks like it is covered by the tube sock

    Some people call him a teenage cobra
    Some people think that’s pretty neat
    With a tube sock and an attitude
    And hamsters are to eat…

    If that’s as bad as they’re gonna get, the cob’s are all right.

    How do cobras create sweaters out of tube socks? Or did he just annoy someone into the tailoring?

      1. find tube sock and drag to level surface
      2. crawl to bottom of tube sock
      3. turn around and crawl until head is exposed
      4. grip hem of tube sock with fangs
      5. keep crawling — tube socks are stretchy

    Yes, OK, based on my experience with my nephew, this totally checks out.

    (My nephew is a cobra.)

    I didn’t think they could get more adorable, but somehow teenage cobras have managed it.

    Her name is Nagnina
    I have a dream about her
    I couldn’t be keener
    We got X-rays in half an hour
    Oh, how she rocks
    In her red tube sock
    But she doesn’t know who I am
    And she doesn’t give a damn about me
    I’m just a teenage cobra, baby
    Yeah, I’m just a teenage cobra, baby
    Listen to Iron Maiden, maybe with me
