Very cool stuff!,...BTW, are those "turds" of some kind those butterflies are sucking the moisture out of?......mmm, yummy!..LOL!

Now tell the truth, did you disregard the "skull & crossbones" warning sign, and venture into the abandoned mine to catch those cool pyro's underneath the dangerous fallen rocks?..hahaha!

I noticed the knoblochi's you received as "gifts", left YOU a few little "gifts" of their own!..LOL! .........but that's all part of the fun of snake keeping!

Sounds like you had a great time, and thanks for posting those pics!.

LOL!!,...my thoughts exactly!,...who in their "right mind" wouldn't want to fiddle with discarded explosives?,....especially very old sticks of dynamite that have been "sweating" nitro glycerin on the outside....that's fun stuff!..hahaha!!......BOOOOOMMM!!!!

Great looking pyros, Doug! Are they a pair?

I dig the Crotalus photos, too. Nice looking tiger black-tail.
