Trip to EBV... tons of pics!

Today I took a drive out to East Bay Vivarium in Berkeley (where I actually bought my first snake, Delilah), since I had a glass/wood terrarium to trade in. They gave me $75 store credit, so of course I spent it on a snake... which I'll tell you about in a minute. ;) In the meantime, here are the photos I got with my iPhone - for anyone around here who hasn't been, it's definitely worth a visit!

P.S. I won't bother trying to identify each animal, since I'll probably get a few wrong. :oops:

Oh, and in case you're wondering what I came home with... it's a baby male jungle carpet python. :):)

Thanks. :) I'm thinking of calling him "Kipling," after the author of Jungle Book - Kaa was too obvious, LOL.

And what do you mean by your first sentence? Is a retic actually a boa? :confused: Guess I'll restate that and say "it was the biggest BCI I've ever seen!"

No he meant the snake you thought was a big Boa is actualy a Reticulated Python. :D


Congrats on the awesome pickup!

Yeah. The sentence may be misplaced where you say thats "the biggest boa you've ever seen". But where it actually is placed, you're referring to a tiger retic. :D

Very cool, and congrats on the Carpet! Yeah, you just misplaced the description of the boa as it's a couple of pics down.

LMAO... No wonder he looked so huge! :rofl: Why did I think that was a boa?? Anyway, thanks for the comments. :D

$5 to pet an animal for 5 minutes, wow :rolleyes:

Yeah sorry, i tried to say that boa isnt actually a boa, but a tiger retic, i need to work on my typing skills
