Our topic today will be of great importance, how to identify a Fox from a Hound. And if you have a Serpent in your kennels.

Now Vixens are naturally mischievous blends of both Cats and Hounds, and they come in a variety of subtypes. From the energetic Fennecs, to the frosty artics. There is a Fox type for every Handlers desire. And with both the ability to be independent while still adhering to their leash, and their expert skills in trickery. They're often used for infiltration, and assisting their owners with managing their kennels.

Warning: When picking out a Vixen, ensure that they don't already have a Handler. As oftentimes they are used to sew mischief in enemy kennels, via acting like a Hound only to enact protocols much akin to the Handler they're sabotaging. The best way to prevent this, is to tame a Vixen yourself or to requisite these assets from a trusted kennel.

Another common use for these Vixens, is assassination and targeted mayhem. Using their abilities both in and out of their mechs, they can take out high priority targets and locations with ease. Even being able to destroy enemy infrastructure from within, utilizing their uncanny ability to blend in with both Hounds and enemy officers.

Warning: Very rarely a dangerous subtype of Vixen will appear, with time and experience. If a Handler does not monitor their Foxes closely, they may develop into a Kit-[REDACTED]. These [REDACTED], have shown traits of returning sentience and resilience to their trainings. Even developing a tendency to attempt taming their own handlers, through both chemical therapy and post-hypnotic suggestion. If you suspect the formation of a [REDACTED], immediately reeducate or terminate the asset.

The next asset archetype we will discuss, are Snakes. These serpentine pilots are much alike Vixens, in that they excel at slipping into enemy ranks and destroying them from within. Utilizing patience, Hound manipulation and their extensive knowledge of poison. They are a threat to be wary of, regardless of how rare they are. As they remain unrivaled in espionage, and blending into enemy leadership. Unfortunately there aren't many recorded cases of Handlers successfully taming Snakes, though it is to be noted that care and intimacy in touch is a useful tool in domestication and convincing these assets to work for you.

If you believe you have one of these pilots lurking about your kennels, here are three surefire ways to reveal them.

Number one, install a unique codeword into assets under your command. And if there are either any repeated codewords, or codewords that don't match. You will have found yourself a spy.

Number two, utilize your Hounds. With an uncanny ability amongst some for recognizing non-pack pilots, they'll bring forth any asset that isn't a Hound. Snake, Cat and Fox alike.

Lastly, look for Hounds that seem overly social with ranked pilots. Be they commanding officers or mere grunts, this type of behavior can be a sign of a Fox attempting to gather intelligence or access to a location they seem valuable.

So, my sister rescued a eastern garter snake from the highway on her way back from getting a new stove. It was curled up in the road, barely moving, and FREEZING. She yoinked it and brought it home to me.

We quickly threw together a terrarium by trawling Facebook for anyone giving one away, and we lucked out immediately. It has a 5 gallon terrarium right now (I know it will need a bigger one, because garters can get to about one and a half to two feet in length).

Its really active now and the reccomended food for it is guppies, earthworms, slugs, and frogs. Its to small for the frogs around here so I bought some earthworms.

I will be looking into a heating pad (because I heard heat lamps are dangerous) and a few artificial hidey holes for it.

My one issue is that it doesn't seem interested in the earthworms.

My handsome little man ❤️

I've had my snake for almost 10 years now
