Just a fair warning. I am in the photos with some of these animals. I was cleaning cages today and had the roommate snap a few shots while I had the animals out of cage. These animals receive the utmost respect when I am "hands on" with them.





Odd yellow western cottonmouth of mine





Another photo of this animal. You can actually see a blood spot where he bit himself today. He does this rather often, but it never seems to bother him. He's a much nicer snake out of his cage.





A very pretty southern copperhead





Me and the southern copperhead from above





Me and the yellow cottonmouth





My baby chinese king cobra 2 ft long and doing good so far *crossing fingers*





"Karl", my florida cottonmouth. Very thick, very neat animal. Very good disposition too (no joke)





Dusky pigmy rattlesnake. These guys are so neat





Saw-scaled viper





Banded water cobra, one of my favorite elapids





Same water cobra. I love the faces on these snakes





Bothrops moojeni, this is a snake that demands a LOT of respect





moojeni again. Very neat snake





Large adult male monocled cobra for size reference





Very large female adult monocled cobra (keep in mind that this is a 2D representation of a 3D situation





I don't usually measure my snakes, but I decided to tube and measure this one today. Even though it doesn't show up well in the photo, the head of this snake is in a tube. You can see the black mark on the tape measure by my roommate's hand. That's the 6 ft mark. She's holding the tail in her hand, and the tail is past the 6 ft mark, and the snake has some bend in it so this is at least a 6ft long monocled cobra. I decided to post this because I've been told by several that there is no such thing as a 6ft female monocled cobra



I hope you enjoyed the photos. I have more and maybe I'll post at a later day, but I'm tired and need to head back to the house.
