Pic of our BIG Lavender Female

PrehistoricPets May 02, 2007 11:21 AM

We this girl out to take pictures, so I thought that I would share a couple of the pics here, too. This is probably our biggest Lavender. We didn't get an exact measurement, but she is 18 feet and probably just under 250 pounds.

This is the good picture of her with everyone smiling and happy to hold her. From head to tail, we have Tim, one of our managers/retic breeders/retic caretaker, Mauricio, one of our employees/cleaners, David, our head manager/ball python breeder/ball python caretaker and Patrick (that's me). Jay is on photo detail!

This pic is one to show the struggle of trying to steady this girl for the pic! When she wants to go somewhere or move, she's going to do it and there isn't much that we can do to stop her. And if you look at her tail, she is just getting ready to unload a present on me!

And here is the present that she left on my leg!

Thanks for looking.

that is just amazing, she's a real beauty, thanks for posting.

Btw, did she fill your pocket too? lol.

Thanks for the comments, she really is a nice looking girl.

As for the pocket, I was very lucky. It looks as though she filled by the way by pocket is sagging, and I thought that she had filled it at first, but luckily she missed! That was the first place that I checked, though! LOL!
