Today I thought I had lost an Albino due to the fact that I had to store 2 females in one enclosure for a day. I looked once, I looked twice,... animal no. 2 not there. Shock!!! Then I did look closer, and discovered a second head which I thought was odd. Animal found. Lesson learnt: better take a good look!!!

Added two fake jungle plants to the left and right of the cage as well as put in a coconut bedding.

First day with Pelota (ball python... Pelota is spanish for "ball")

A picture of Gus, our pet ball python. He's around 2 feet (about or a little over half their adult size) and we've had him for a month.

Contemplating his next meal...

More Clem and Cocoa. I really liked the effects I got with the flash and the fast-moving snakes. You think "herding cats" is difficult? Two energized, inquisitive ball pythons are hilariously infuriating. <3

Tabitha the ball python. We actually call her the ball puppy, but close enough.

This is my ball python. His name is monty. He's pretty cool.

While I'm sharing my Pets of Years Past...

This was Cleo, a ball python. I got her from a friend who didn't want her anymore, and after several years of ownership, she moved on to another friend.

I brought her home without consulting my folks and not certain how they'd feel about it, but snakes are relatively low-maintenance and contained, so I figured she wouldn't have a big impact and they'd barely even know she was there.

Got home with her and told my mom directly. She came straight down to see. Now, this is my mom. She is definitely very feminine. I wasn't sure at all how she'd react.

So it was much to my surprise when she sat down on the couch and held out her hands for Cleo. She put her in her lap and proceeded to read a book I had about snakes, with Cleo curled up there, for like an hour. I was truly shocked.

Big cool points go to my mom for that one.

Python regius.

of "Monty's" scales. He's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius) who is probably between 30 and 35 years old. Royal pythons are among the most gentle and smaller pythons rarely exceeding 4 - 5 feet in length. They are native to west Africa. Photo by Frank.

Licking the air.

Our ball python, Popcorn, arrived today after winter storms delayed her arrival for nearly 2 weeks. This is just after sitting her on fresh reptile bark and damp sphagnum moss so she was a little shy. I hope to photograph her more thoroughly soon.

One of my coworker Lauren's snakes, which she occasionally brings in to work with her.

Update: The snake's name is Daisy. So there's that.
