Holy squeeze!
The only snake I have that really squeeze my arm in my boa, I've been told boas have a natural fear of falling. But lord, he doesn't squeeze that hard. ;)

Shame property around here is so expensive. Though I'm looking. No more spiders, but crocodiles are another story...

This was the pullback when I walk in the room, he pounces straight towards the glass FROM THAT VERY BACK PERCH, sees I am not holding tongs, and immediately decides I am unworthy of his presence. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9bdccf582c.jpg

"WHAT! Mom you didn't bring me food! I am disgusted by you!" :rofl:

Yeah, this time of year I’d GP bankrupt if I fed them every time they asked!

A couple weeks ago, I warmed up a quail for my finicky Dumeril’s. I often thaw food for only one of them, because it’s always a crap shoot as to whether or not she’ll eat, so I just toss him the leftovers as not to waste.

Well...as previously mentioned, he knows the sound of a hair dryer in this house can mean only one thing. And he is FINE TUNED to that sound! He was sleeping tucked up high on his “don’t touch me” perch when I went down the hall to the bathroom to give the thawed quail a quick blast.

Returned to the room to find him very much awake, sprawled across the enclosure with his face to the glass, just opening his mouth at me. He is so greedy. There was no getting away without feeding him, so the hiding, sleeping Dum lost her dinner to the beast [emoji23]

My brother watched this feeding and was singularly impressed that Apophis launched a full 3 feet with savage precision to grab his snack! I’m just glad I have 20 inch tongs!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d5ab81a2fd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7dbb7c042c.jpg

He pulled the same selfish business last night, but I was stronger! I can’t believe how well he tunes in to that sound. He was not a happy camper. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fef7482034.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...679d132c4a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fb63608bf3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f345da65bd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9ab3388c6f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0bceb71d38.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5854612b99.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4c5f67986b.jpg

Pop looks great and he's really stretching out. I still cringe every time I see him so close to your face though. :cool:

Hahaha I know. Especially after he gave my friend an unexpected love bite...he gets held much, much less these days because it’s just such a battle to get him out of his big enclosure. So when he’s out, it’s usually because he’s in a really good mood.
I’m sure I’ll slip up one day and pay for it...but I trust the little guy (although he’s creeping up on 7 ft by now). I’ve pestered him since he was a baby, so I have no fear that he will bite me as long as he’s outside the cage😂 Even inside, he’s mostly a bluffer. He hasn’t tagged me in 2 years at least. ;) But I know when it happens I’ll be pissed and it better not be my face. Those teeth are SAVAGE!

well here’s a first. He wrapped the quail and the branch together. Took him a hot minute to figure out how to eat it without letting go! A couple of these are terrible quality, but I was trying to get the teeth [emoji6]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...679f1aa633.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b02a3bdf27.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5c1c41f380.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...20e8a68731.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8c2a526e99.jpg
