Timing is everything! please view large Taken at a reptile show in the Hilton Long Island.
This reptiles are harmless as you are not allowed to have poisonous snakes in captivity in New York state, once you touch them you will change your mind about snakes as I did:-)
I'll try to start getting caught up here in the morning.
I hope everyone is well and enjoying his and her time.
Another shot of the beautiful young Royal python, who was one of my personal favourites. Taken at my recent photography day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.
As you may remember, my single female ball python (Python regius) laid seven eggs without any interaction with a male python ever in her life. That's pretty rare but known phenomenon called parthenogenesis. Only one egg survived despite proper incubation, and single baby ball python was born.
Unfortunately he (or she) refused to eat after first skin shedding, which happen quite often with baby ball pythons. However, after weeks of games with all my tricks being used to convince small hunter to hunt, we eventually sorted this as well, and seems that now we have healthy, fast growing happy baby snake :-)

... is really quite something! They are (genetically, I'm told) among the friendliest, most mellow of all animals. Their defense behavior is to roll in to a ball (thus, "Ball" python), and when really challenged, they will tuck their heads into the ball.
They originated in western Central Africa: Liberia, Ghana, Togo, Sierra Leone, Guinea (+Bissau) all the way east to Uganda and Sudan. Their home territory ranges from savanna (dry grassland) to rainforest. They are kings among snakes, eating a varied diet that include other reptiles, and especially snakes!

I almost missed that he had a snake with him. Had my daughter not said something I am sure I had associated his pet with his harness
kiara is becoming a great model if i take her out places. she hasnt tried to bite or strike at me recently so hoping this is progress with her.
watching and helping as "Monty's" enclosure is being cleaned. "Monty" is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). First of three pictures. Photo by Frank. .
is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius) who I have cared for since June 5, 1998. She was rescued as an adult from a pet store in south central Idaho where apparently she had not eaten for a year. Fortunately when I provided her with the correct enclosure with heat and a place to hide, she ate within a day and has been healthy ever since. My guess is she's most likely about 25+ years old. The longetivity record for a ball python in captivity is 47 years meaning that snake could have been over 50+ years old. Royal pythons are native to west Africa and, because of her age, she, most likely, was captured from the wild. Photo by Frank.

A portrait. She's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are native to west Africa and are among the gentlest snakes and rarely exceeding 4 - 5 feet in length. 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.
Strobist: Bare SB26 at about 6:30, roughly 2 feet up.
For me, absolutely the fairest creature on the day. I really loved this little Royal python. This is one of my favourite shots from the session, I think. Taken on a photography day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.
