say hello to The Admiral

I've asked so many questions on this forum and received so much help that I feel I need to show off my little guy. He's around 1.5 years old and about as 'normal' as they come...but I couldn't ask for more. I'm just posting a link b/c apparently they don't teach you how to resize your pictures in college...sometimes I wander what I'm paying for!

Sorry there's so many pictures, but for some odd reason I just can't bring myself to delete any of them.

He's BEAUTYFUL!!!! Great pattern! I love his clean face too!!!!! :sunny:

nice pics! i'm glad to hear the forum has been helpful to ya. :wuv:

The Admiral is a handsome fella! Thank you for sharing him with us!

He's very nice!

Is that rodent to big to feed? That thing looks huge!

8B8ll...no it was actually almost the exact same size around as he was, but I do agree, it does look pretty big in the picture. He usually eats weanlings, but that's only because I don't see much need of putting him in any more danger from a live rat than need be (and he's not that big, 500 grams or so). I tried F/T and he looked at me like I was stupid; he's definitely a live kinda guy. Thanks for the replies everybody!

Agreed! He's got a nice pattern and he looks very healthy! Thanks! :)

Cool Cool Thanks I was just seeing if my guy could eat something like that but I will stick to what I have at the moment great looking snake! And cool pics! :carrot:

Gorgeous snake! Love it! :) And normal is awesome--ours is a normal, and I just love them.

Great pics too--I love love love the belly pic where he's kind of hanging in a "U" shape with his tail curled up a bit. Very nice.

By the way... do I see a hot rock in some of the pics? Just curious... it's my understanding that hot rocks can damage a snake fairly easily. I know a lot of pet stores and nature centers use them for their displays, but I think the standard advice from herp experts is to stay the heck away from them.

Bring on the photos--they are gorgeous. :)
