So, I somehow ended up with this lovely girl

New forum for me -- usually I stick with the ball pythons and boa constrictors I don't normally get snakes on the fly (because, well, duh), but through a chain of connections on Facebook I was told about a 20-year-old diamond/carpet python hybrid -- not sure if she's jungle or coastal -- in need of a home, so now we are the proud keepers of Beatrice, hatched in November of 1995:



She's a gorgeous girl, 5-6 feet long, and eats f/t rats like a champ. We're still working to get some stuck shed off her, which is proving to be a bit challenging as the whole soaking process rather annoys her and she gets hissy right when the shed is getting soft. Otherwise she appears to be in fantastic shape especially considering her age, according to my herp vet.
