Do we have another T-shirt coming??

The Boa Brigade,,,, I like that!

Just disproved the whole “won’t strike at a closed fist” thing. Haven’t been handling too regularly with any of the critters recently and combined with scheduled winter fasting, I think this gal is getting a little edgy. Nailed me twice on the knuckles and then hit my phone the third shot. Hardly bled and were both quick bite and release. Good thing she’s pretty

Had a do over and went much better. Still pretty hissy/huffy hooking her out of the enclosure but no strikes.

She’s beyond pretty bro. She’s smokin! 🔥🔥

THE ROCK LOL!

My closed fist technique has worked with younger snakes but age changes things. At least in my experience, if they do tag you they don't have much to get a hold of.

I'm battling with the Bredli a bit these days. I just don't frequently handle the animals this time of year. I really should do more with Kevin. He's a bit over 3 and probably was not handled at Nick's much.

Good thing the Rock is sexy so a little tap can be forgiven.

This girl had her first meal in two months the other day. Oddly she dropped it and went about her business for 15-20 minutes before I got it back on the tongs and offered a second time and then ate it. Not sure if she’s done that before.

She’s an absolute live wire getting her out of the enclosure. Imagine it will be ~slightly easier when I move her into taller quarters eventually. Her half of a T8 is really a super short cage for dealing with fast snakes. Moves like she’s an Australian coachwhip snake.

Starting to get some real nice size. No idea on weight. Trying to weigh most any of the animals here is an effort in futility.

Thanks buddy! The light is pretty yellow from the lamp in the room but doesn't exaggerate her colors too much. Easily the spiciest critter here. Alway gotta have at least one that keeps you on your toes haha!

Fresh paint while home for lunch between classes today. She only gets better and better every time. Not sure on weight, but probably closing in on 3.5’. Definitely over 3’ now.
