The title is inspired by the release of the senior class superlatives today. Nothing more, nothing less - promise. We were supposed to have this whole big photo shindig at mi casa today, but SOMEBODY (I will not name any names) decided to go to Claire's instead of taking photos with me. So, it was just Wesley and me. Stranded. Alone. With my snake, Monty. This is the finished product of a multifaceted bro-date.
Hope you don't mind another picture of her. She's shed her skin and now has really bright colors. She's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are native to West Africa and rarely exceed five feet in length. Notice the heat sensing pits on her lip which detect the heat from prey animals from up to thirty feet away even at night. The Royal python diet consists of mice, rats and gerbils. They are extremely docile snakes. Photo by Frank
In 2007.... Leah's birthday party. We hired our favorite pet store to come to our home and bring cool animals to show off to the kids.
My girl is BRAVE!

She's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). When ball pythons are stressed they curl up in a "ball" protecting their heads, hence the nickname, "ball." "Sheba" was rescued from a pet store in the Twin Falls, Idaho area in 1998. At the time it was reported she had not eaten in a year. She ate within a day of arriving at my house. Amazingly I think this may be the first picture I've taken of her these past 14 years. Royal pythons extremely shy and docile snakes and are native to the savannah lands of west Africa.

when cleaning "Sheba's" enclosure today (June 10, 2015). She was incubating eggs in her hide area. Pythons coil around their eggs and help maintain an even temperature through the friction of twitching scales. We removed the eggs as they were infertile. "Sheba" is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are among the smaller and gentler pythons rarely exceeding 4 - 6 feet in length and are native to sub-Sahara Africa. Photo by Frank..
