my big ball

j3nnay Mar 01, 2007 10:05 AM

She just shed a few days ago I couldn't help myself
She is a pain in the NECK to take pictures of, though! Probably due to being ginormous. She's eating like a champ and putting weight back on like crazy.

On a side note, does anyone else have a snake that keeps going poo in the same exact corner every time?

LOL - She looks great!!!

I was just saying the other day - that it's hard for me to get good pictures of adults - so you're definitely not alone. Maybe that's why we predominantly see baby picts on the forum! Best to get them while they're still sleeping.

And yes - seems like most of mine pic a corner and exclusively do their business in said corner.

dang i was thinking mine saw the cats and ferret going the same place all the time and figured they would do the same....LOL

The funny thing is, Periscope (my littler girl) will sit still and "pose" for pictures, it seems like. Cindy, however, made a beeline for the dirty laundry basket and kept trying to hide under embarressing bits of laundry.

Thanks for the kind comments You should post more pics of your snakes, Tosha, you've got quite a few gems!

her head looks massive next to your hand. Are you a midget ? Seriously though do you know her length and weight? As for the question, mine pretty much go in random places and usually within minutes of me finishing up cleaning their racks!

"Can't you just feed it vegetables"? No, no I can't you stupid hippie.

j3nnay Mar 01, 2007 09:41 PM

I'm 5'9" - definately not a midget! She's a little over 5 feet and as to her weight, she weighs more than my bunny, and my bunny's 6 pounds as per her last vet visit. :D

Probably because it was attached to a string of stuff they deleted - I wouldn't take offense.

Im not offended im just bumming because it took me a while to get all the pics. No hard feelings. There was a wise remark but i didnt think it would be bad enough to delete it but its cool. Thanks

Bring her over next year, we can breed an Ember, Sulfur, Pastel YB, YB, Sulfur Mojave, or Ghost or Albino to her You live close enough, that is assuming you do not pick up a killer male for her this year or have one as we speak. She IS big, sure she is not part Boa....hahahaha.

j3nnay Mar 01, 2007 09:44 PM

Haha, that would be EXTREMELY awesome to do. The only 'killer' boyfriend she's got is poor, goofy Darwin. I still owe you a visit, don't I?

Thanks for the comments!

Yeah, you do still owe a visit.

I finally got my new camera, well ordered it at least. So my pic taking should hopefully improve.
