And beauty snakes, as well as a few other Asian rats are awesome like that. The patterns change all the way down, it's part of why I fell in love! :love: It also makes them harder to interpret artistically, but I'm working on it!

Oooooh ok! I sorta figured 'cause I saw Steve Irwin with that intern dude from the Tonight Show was handed one. How big do they get? Irwin reminds me so much of my Sand Boa. Love that lil face.

It was extra awesome to see that Tonight Show clip after we'd just named our own rubber boa Irwin! They don't get very big at all, check out the site Evan linked to, www.rubberboas.com They're the rubber boa experts! Lots of great stuff on there! Our Irwin will be lucky to hit maybe two feet, and that's being generous!

And yeah, such sweet faces! If I was ever inclined to muck around with sand, I'd totally get a sweet little halloween colored sand boa. :)

Awesome pics! I never realized how big Ma is till I saw the pic with you/her.. she is just a stunning snake.

Great pictures, Sheree! =)

Thank you! And yeah, most people do underestimate the beauty's size till they see them in person. You think ratsnake, you think little! Big girl! Even the pics with me in them don't really do justice to her length. Or strength! She's got a GOOD grip on my wrist there, lol!
