This is my 18 month old female.

Hi
Apart from my one female borneo short tail, which i want to get a nice male for, i keep mainly asian ratsnakes.
I have a pair of Rhyno rats, a pair of Dione, and i am getting pairs of prasina and coxi next month.
also i have a few crested geckos.

nice

Great looking snake.I have boa's and red bloods right now.A total of nine animals.I would really want a indian python(python molurus,molurus)a sub species of the burmese.

Indian python...is that the endangered subspecies???

Yes Gummy that's the endangered species.However that species is legal here in California, I think due to the fact there are a few breeders breeding pure blooded animals.

Indian pythons have the "faint" arrow mark on the head??? Besides being very rare, what is it that make them so desirable??? They are beautiful snakes, but not much difference in appearance from the other subspecies. I guess I would like to have one for bragging rights.

Hey,
I work with Gtp's also, and find them to be an amazing spcies and one of my favorites.

He's about 18 months old now. Can't keep him full...bullsnakes are really somthing else I've also got a lone crested crecko. Certainly wouldn't mind adding more pythons to the collection. hehe

He's a Sayi. Pretty fun little bugger.

How ya holdin up Angel? Sounded like life has been kicking your butt lately. Not trying to be nosey...just lookin out for a fellow blood fan Any news on the post mordem?

Hey Carole,
No! I appreciate you asking, and I don't think you are being nosey. I'm doing better, and I'm still awaiting the report from the pathologist. They said it would take about 14 days. I can't stop thinking about that whole thing, and check on my guys constantly to check for any signs of anything untoward. Man! what a week that was. I am hoping that it will all be behind me real soon, and that I can get back to some normalcy.

And onto another note, I love the Sayi, that is one fine looking dude/she? anyhow, lovely for sure. I loved catching them years ago, in Big Ben. They are something else, as adults. I still keep a 10 year plus female I caught about that same amount of time, that was probably about 2 at the time. She's an Affinis, and I brought her back from Pheonix as I said, 10years ago. I might add, she eats like a pig if I let her and has never presented me with any problems what so ever.

Interesting thing about her, is that she gets out from time to time, and is the only one the does, and she makes a break right for the mouse hole. LOL! We had a small mouse problem about a month ago, and she irradicated that quickly.
Amazing instincts!

Thats a very nice lookin snake carole, I love the colors. I used to have a BRB that was like your bull Angel, turn around for two seconds and shes gone. And your gtp cage is absolutely amazing, did you make that one too? (Dont worry i wont ask for directions ) Anyways just kinda rambling.. all I have right now is Borneos and a tarantula.. and my roomates dogs, one just got a great dane puppy shes adorable.

Oh yeah, I meant to ask you about that cage too, its gorgeous!

Sure hope those reports get back to you soon....having some sort of answer would help ease the pain of the situation. Sorry again about the loss of your friend....that's honestly one of, if not the greatest, of my fears....I can't imagine the agony of this time for you. Sounds like your hanging in there..stay strong.

Sound like the female bull you have is a character! I can't believe you found her after she got loose...i think my guy would be gone in a heartbeat! I take my guy (Spark Plug ) for 'walks' in the yard...It looks pretty ridiculous...me crouched over holding the last third of a snake, hopping like a mad woman to avoid stepping on him. Might not be the smartest thing in the world...but he seems to enjoy crawling around in the grass for a bit. I like to think that it keeps him 'mentally' healthy.

Jordan...what species of tarantulas do you have? I've been toying with the idea of getting one. Maybe a rosehair....I'd love to have one of the goliath birdeaters...but don't know how wise that'd be

Walkin a snake sure sounds like a funny thing to watch.. I let mine graze when the tempature is right.. and the dogs aren't here and occasionally have to run after them when they get to close to bushes St's dont move so fast.. and if they do they dont go anywhere. My BRB got out on several occasions but I always found her somehow, once she was hanging on my closet on a coat hanger... and once she somehow got out in my car and appareared on the doorsil a few days later (long story.. try taking your car apart looking for a snake and not going anywhere for 3 days) anyways I think thats enough embarrasing stories for one day.. now back to my box of wine

LMAO!! I can't imagine tearing my car apart like that....what's more....I can't imagine trying to explain to other people WHY my car was torn apart

I've taken my bloods out for 'grazes' before. I discovered they only like to be taken out once its pitch black outside. If I take them out any earlier, they'll just sit there. Once its dark however, they seem quite happy to take a little stroll around the yard.

Hey J,
Yeah! that is one of the first cages ever built by me. I just got up from bed one night, while watching tv, and grabbed the tape measurer, and decided that I was going to build me some Chondro cages, and put the work and design down on paper, and the rest is history. I love the cages, but they are not good in keeping the humidity up, but they sure look good. Anyhow, that's how that came about. The next thing I know, I was searching for dealers of Gtp's, and found ProExotic. I've had them about 6-7 years now and they are doing well.

I was a big colubrid guy for many years, and made the transition to Boids exclusively, many years ago. I can't complain!

Nice snakes Carole and Angel. There are sooo many animals that I want, but so little time and money. One day.....
