Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Here's some pics I took this evening of my 03 male okeetee, being held by my daughter. Over the years, she's held everything from huge black rats & eastern kings, to delicate little worm snakes and ringnecks. I think she's pretty much a pro at this.

Cool, I love seeing kids that aren't afraid of snakes. I have a nephew that's the same way. Nice looking snake also.

KIN !!!!!
I'm sorry but I am going to have to ask you to send those snakes back.
Just can't see my poor little critters in the hands of an Eagles fan....aaaggghhhh nnnooooooo.

For the record, even though I am a Southern boy I am a Green Bay Packer fan...ever since Atlanta sent Brett Favre to "Cheese Land".
I got to see Brett Favre play here in Chattanooga against The Univerity of Tennessee at Chattanooga when he was at Southern Miss. Poor UTC...LOL
Number two is Indy....Payton Manning went to UT. Serious University of Tennessee fan !!!! whoo whoo go VOLS
and third is Titans....Tennessee team, what can I say.

Ok keep them....LOL
I'm glad you are pleased with your newest arrivals.
Sounds to me like you got a very good deal.
Especially if you are happy with what came.
Looking forward to pics.
I think if the little guy has eaten three times you should be able to bring him along with a little patience.

I have seen a few non-eaters turn into pigs just by being shipped.
I bought a couple of yearlings a couple of years ago and the breeder threw in a little hatchling that had never eaten to see if I could have better luck with it.
It ate the first time I tried to feed it and has never missed another meal.
I also sent some non-feeders to a friend and several of them ate on his first attempt.
Something about a plane ride kick starts their appetite.
maybe it's the in-flight drinks?...lol
sorry to ramble..

I lied...
I kept thinking about when I got to see Brett Favre play and the more I thought about it the more I realized UTC was wrong.
I watched them in Memphis in '88 or '89 can't remember which.
Sorry for the missinformation.
Either way I became a fan and when he went to Atlanta I thought I would get to see him play often and then Atlanta sent him to Green bay thinking he wasn't good enough....LOL

I have nothing but respect for Bret Favre. One of the greatest QB's to ever play the game, and a class individual all the way.

I'm not going to hold it against you for picking the wrong team in the state of Pa., we all have our faults. Just messing with you.
Looks like both our teams are having a rough year, but we can't complain too much since both Philly & Pit have done very well the last few years.
