shedding his skin by soaking, "Richard" is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Idaho is not so humid as west Africa, where Royal pythons are native, so so some water helps. Photo by Frank.
I took some photos of some of Lamont's (my brother) critters last night for him. He breeds these, so these are some variety of rare colors and whatnot. So the crazy-strange colors that you see are really how these guys look; they're not retouched.
My two Ball Pythons, Cocoa on the left and Clem on the right.
Guess I should have been paying closer attention to the water level in their dish...

This is my beautiful adopted Ball Python, his name is Asmodeus " king of demons". But he's actually reallllly lovely :D
08/28/2010 -- A few weeks ago, I mentioned here & there that we had gotten a snake. He's a Ball Python... just a few months old & we have (finally) named him Orton. A little explanation: In the Vanover house, wrestling is a big thing because both of my boys love it.. and, well, practice it. Randy Orton is one of Sean's favorite wrestlers & he always mimicks RO & does the "Viper" move where he bangs his hands on the floor, etc. He also demonstrates on Gunner (which is HILARIOUS... especially when Gunner fights back)!
Anyway, he told me one day that he was going to name said snake, "Viper"... which I made fun of because duh, it's not a Viper. Then a few hours later (obviously after much much thought), he decides to call it "Randy" lololol. More aggravating on my part, toward him.. & I finally just suggested that he called him Orton, and needless to say, it stuck.
So here is our Ball Python, Orton, who is BEAUTIFUL to photograph -- but any other time, you will not find me near this thing & short of a picture, keep my distance from it! I don't like the way snakes do their tongues... so of course, in the first picture he had to try and scare me away by rattling it back and forth. Okay, enough snake talk! You've met him now.. -waves and runs-

Benin. West Africa.
Ouidah
In most parts of the world snakes are feared, but in Benin they are revered. Royal pythons are worshiped in Benin, especially in Ouidah. The good news is that royal pythons are not dangerous, but the bad news is that these sacred reptiles are welcome Beninese households where they are fed when the doors of the temple are opened at night. There is no fear when the locals welcome these slithering pythons into their living rooms like an honoured guest.
The Temple of Pythons is a small room of twelve square meters that houses 50 adult royal pythons.
My python recently shed a nearly whole skin. I like the nostril detail. This photo was taken from the underside of the skin.
This little guy had the greatest puppyface.
He was very interested in climbing my face and sitting on my glasses.
My pet Ball Python, "Puff" outside getting some exercise. She is a female and about four feet long. She doesn't mind being held. She has an interesting skin texture and patterns, called "eyes". Look closely and you can see individual scales.
