HAHAHAA!!,..that is great man!

Just looking at the surrounding pine wood lots there I can see that the delicious smell of rodents carries through there like a ringing dinner bell!..LOL!

A good friend of mine just recently went out to his snake rodent building, and when he opened the door, a yearling consnake dropped onto his head from being wedged in between the door and the jam..LOL!

Bet THAT woke him up!!

Corns will do that , i had an escapee Okeetee appeared"Fell" upon opening my back door for a neighbor good thing it was a friend not a Real Estate agent..Im trying to sell this place so check the Classifieds for some deals Soon. Doug take care talk to you soon..PLUG "shrug".C

LOL!!,.. I know what ya mean about real estate agents and their clients not being real thrilled to have snakes dropping down on their heads..LOL!!

I went through the same thing several years ago, and had to hide my entire collection from several prospective house buyers that walked around for "open house" and home inspectors..LOL!

As the inspector was writing his detailed findings down on his clipboard, his butt was only about 6 inches away from a huge tarp-covered stack of snake enclosures!..HAHAHAAA!! . The way I had them covered in the garage, to everyone it just seemed like a giant pallet of construction material or something and they didn't even give it a second thought. I was just about giggling to myself just watching all the people within inches of all these snakes..LOL!. Hey, the phrase "what they don't know won't hurt them" is so true!..LOL!

BTW Chris, awesome little twins there bro!........are they both alive and well still?

The twins were a couple years back they did good ,but they were smaller than there sibs

Cool!,....

That's nice to know they are doing well. And them being smaller than the others is only natural to think, as they have to share the same sized egg as the other sibs of the clutch.
