He was persistent too...the little crap made me uncoil him tail first. Undaunted after that affair, the little monster took the mouse right after I set him down. -you gotta like a little guy with spirit...looks like that one has it.

LOL!

Yep that sounds pretty boa like. Time to eat is time to eat!

Another chance at a Poki from you has gone by. Had the Royal passed away I'd be showing off Suri photos right now.

We'll see if this angry little thing grows to be a big, friendly snake like the previous one.


Unfortunately the Bredli doesn't exactly love me yet so the boa and the Royal are my easy handlers.

I still have to come visit and see the Pokis in person.

Chat soon sir!


Zig,

Thanks for the comments. I also feel the tribute was a good idea.
My wife who is not into snakes came up with her name (Gem). The fact she liked Jewel says a lot about what a stable and seemingly friendly snake she was.

I'm not sure if the "like affair" will continue with Gem LOL.

Yup, that's a "real" snake! You got 10 fingers anyway, why you so stingy, man? :rofl:

I'm not here often lately, but I'm still very much in the hobby.

Gem is doing well and looking better all of the time. She's a Brisbane, locality, Coastal Carpet Python.

She's a bit snappy still but she loves her chicks and rat pups.

She has a lot of contrast.

Thank you.

I really miss Jewel and her pleasant demeanor. Gem is a work in progress but she is very pretty.

JM has a half sibling of Gem and I get some good info from him regarding attitude and when the calming period comes.

I'm hoping to have a nice, big, sweet girl eventually.

Looking great Gio

GIO!!! I'm so, so sorry to hear of Jewel's passing😔 She was a beautiful and impressive creature! Gem has a lot to live up to, but she sure does look gorgeous under those lights.

GEM looks amazing. Love carpets. She always looks like she is going to eat you. The song "Baby Shark" comes to mind. Hope she has a long and wonderful life in your care.

Brisbane Locality Coastal Carpet Python.

Gem.

Its not Gem's week for pleasant behavior but her colors and pattern make up for it I guess.
