enjoying a soak. Find "Monty's" head. He's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are native to Africa and a more humid climate than in Idaho. I've cared for him since 1987 and he was an adult then so he very probably is 33 - 35 years old. Photo by Frank.

Our cat, Stripes, really wants to 'greet' our new family member....but he's just not sure... (And, no--there will be no real meeting of the two! He can look, but he can't touch!)

.resting. She's a Royal (Ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are very docile, rarely exceed 4 -5 feet in length and native to west Africa. Notice the "pits" on her nose which enable her to sense heat from prey animals. Photo by Frank
I usually leave him alone to feed, but this time he took and started feeding so quickly, and I just ~happened~ to have the camera at hand, I was able to capture moments from the whole process. That one's my favourite.
participated today in the Annual Meeting of the Idaho Herpetological Society held on the campus of Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho. "Richard" is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius), a native of the savannah lands of west Africa. He hatched in my home 11 years ago. He was the last of the litter to come out of the egg and his spine was/is severely deformed. The deformity possibly was caused by the egg having uneven heat in the incubator. Femaie pythons actually incubate their eggs by coiling around them and twitching their bodies. I removed the eggs from the femaie and placed them in an incubator. Though smaller than his siblings, "Richard" has done well. "Richard" has attended every Idaho Herpetological Society Annual Meeting since 1998. Photo by Frank
