Can You See Me?

pyromaniac Jan 02, 2011 02:25 PM


In this 30 gallon Zilla tank on my computer desk is one of my pyro trios. When I boot up somebody likes to peek out and see what is happening. Can you see the snake?
(Never mind about the low humidity; under the Arizona (LOL!) box are their saucer hides and moist sphagnum moss hide. Their water bowl is also nested in a pan of sphagnum moss.) I've got a blanket over this cage for brumation. It's been cold enough lately I can just brumate them on my desk!

LOL, I love it, this posting that is...it is very funny! His little head is sticking out towards the temp gun or reader at the far right end of the Arizona box. I didn't only find the snake but to find out that you are a big fan of those Arizona drinks! I too am a fan of them Chris! LOL I think it is very funny when kings hide into the aspen and stick their little noses out of the bedding.

You found him!
Actually I have never had one of those Arizona drinks; I get the empty flats from the local market for my mice and snakes. They make great hides!

I bet they do and plus the snakes and the mice would appreciate the sight of the sun (Arizona). Lol I was going to say the rising sun but that is Japan. Forgot the quote they used for the state of Arizona, haha!

Very adorable picture and I bet even people that hate snakes have to think that the picture is cute!

Aww...I will make it easy for you...

What might look like a temp gun is actually a thermometer. I don't see any fish, either. The fish sightings could be due to some interesting New Years partying! LOL!

The fish sightings are from the aspen between the glass and the corner of your thermometer housing giving the appearance of a fishes mouth. The buttons on the therm add to the illusion as they do somewhat look like eyes.

Either that or as I've said befere. The 70's were berry, berry good to me.

Hmmm...No matter how I look at this I can't see any fish...maybe I will avail myself of the mind enhancing substance to boost my acuity (or imagination)...the 60's were very good to me! LOL!
