my longtime friend, Jasper

This is Jasper. He was my first pet snake, after much begging to my parents. I got him in early 1993 when he was already pretty much fullgrown. Jasper is still with me today, so I estimate him to be at least 17 yrs old, and possibly older. I plan to have him til the day he dies.

Wow he's beautiful!! :)

You see a lot of baby and juvie snakes on this forum so it's nice to see people who have kept their snakes for a very long time. Congrats and here's to many more years of snake-keeping :gj:

Hi Michael! Jasper is a nice looking boy! I love to see people show off snakes they have had for a long time! Thanks for caring! Too many people seem to think these guys are throw away pets. :sigh2: :fight: :disbelief :angered: :tears:

BTW.......Thats some great looking work on your website! :gj:
