The rumors of my demise have been greatly exagerated. For a while I thought I was dead, then I realized I was just in Tennessee. My terrible cold and football season was nearly too much for me. I finally got 10 minutes to walk a few snakes and I snapped a couple of pictures while they were out in the sun. The first is Ruby a large plump Sumatran with a gorgeous black head. The next is Sampson an incredibly friendly blonde Borneo that I placed on dead grass for his picture. He is the most active and curious "blood" (yes, I know he is a short-tailed) in the world.
