New Pics of Rauri the BCI

He's so lovely! I love the pictures! Who's that in your avatar, Jo?

What a cutie! Like you said, the face markings are lovely =)

You have to love those fat heads when they mature... Very nice!!

LOL Christie, Mike truly hates having his picture taken or me messing around with the camera endlessly, especially on sports Sunday.

That's our pretty Orlah girl in that pic Robin. Gosh I miss her and Brannagh but I know they are well taken care of at Eugene's and hopefully will make us all proud shortly. Still wierd to walk into the snake room though and not see our two biggest females there or sit down in the evening and not have lovely Orlah to spend time with. As you know her personality is as lovely as she is, so handling times with her are always so relaxing, stress free and gentle.

Yep Matt. I'm so glad we got the chance to foster Rauri or I'd have never known just how wonderful these big boa's can be. Well other than today when I had my perfectly quiet morning coffee/computer time broken up by the biggest, loudest snake fart in the entire world! Literally made me jump and run to see what in heck had just happened (Rauri's enclosure is very near to where our computer desk is). A short time later Rauri "presented" Mike and I with a HUGE defecation!!! My gawd there are days when I wonder if he's a BCI or a Great Dane! LOL

Cool; he looks like an awesome lap-snake (much cooler, IMO, than a lap dog, lol.)
Now you want one of your own, right? :)

Actually Gin as soon as Rauri ships off to Becky in Texas this spring we are adopting a beautiful little male BCI from Lynne (LadyWhipple) named Severus for our oldest son, Lucas but we'll all of course love and spoil him rotten I'm sure. It will be lovely to have young Severus in the house and help somewhat with the "missing-Rauri" period.

Very beautiful, Jo :) I'm interested in getting a Red-Tail maybe this year - they're totally awesome (if I can find one here in UK). It's amazing how cute snakes can be - Emily's just like that, all cute and docile and loves being a lap-snake :D
