I was trying hard to keep her in focus, I just wanted a nice picture of her pattern but she became very interested in the camera and kept getting closer and closer ... definitely a big personality on this one, plus she thinks everything might be food and needs to go in her mouth (including hands and tongs so far) :O So she might be a little bit of a criminal but we'll forgive her for now.

Oh yes, do forgive her "criminal tendencies" for now. :rofl:I know what you mean- "GOT FOOD?" :snake2:

I'm fine-Boyfriend and I both got it. We're both vaccinated. I'm asymptomatic, but it hit him with everything it had. Goes to show how different the impact is between individuals. [emoji28]

You're right, her sheds are always clean and patternless because of the ghost genes

Crazy stuff, that's for sure. :rolleye2: Hope he's better soon. I have no 'personal' experience with it & doing all I can to keep it that way.

Re: Most Recent Snake Picture!
Took a quick picture of my Tioman Island kukri, Snickersnee. Lighting isn't great, and she's getting ready to go into shed again.
She has more growing to do, and I'm fortunate to say she's very tame.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d915015a75.jpg

First time I've heard of a kukri. If you didn't say so I would've assumed it was a kingsnake. :O
Can you tell me more about her? She's beautiful.

Tioman Island is the locale where her lineage/subspecies is from, but kukris are all over Thailand. She's captive bred, only a few people in the US breed them I think. She mostly eats f/t hairless rat pups, but they can also eat eggs too.
In the wild, also frogs, toads and lizards. They have very specialized, enlarged teeth in the back of their jaw used for slicing (like a kukri knife). They use it to slice eggs open to drink from, and to..disembowel prey items and eat the organs. It's pretty brutal.
Females get about a meter long, males are smaller. Mine eats every 3-5 days. They have fast metabolisms and she's still growing, at a little over a year old. They aren't sit-and-wait predators. Nocturnal mostly, but I see mine out during the day.
Mine is extremely reluctant to bite and has never tried to, but im still careful. I wouldn't call it biting as much as slashing, though. They're non-venomous, despite their "fangs" but you don't really want to get nailed by one. There are wild imports, but captive breeding definitely mellowed them down.https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...e742db41e0.jpg

Did a little digging and there's images of them eating toads from the inside out like a centipede would. Brutal indeed. :omg: Good thing they don't need to be fed like that in captivity.
She's a gorgeous little lady though, it's a wonder they aren't more popular.

I nearly guessed as much myself, but hognoses basically have the same thing and venom on top of that yet they're very popular (a very, very weak venom granted but it's still there).

I love snakes with good appetites, but you're a lot more "dedicated" that I'd have been, lol.

Hilarious! Can hardly blame a snake for not wanting to give up- fingers seem to be the perfect shape to swallow! So much for their "keen sense of smell" though? :rofl:

she definitely did, it was feeding day so I didn’t want to use and hand sanitizer or anything to get her off, I put her under a cold water tap, that had literally zero effect 😂😂 just had to wait it out

Thanks! My buddy made the jungle gym. I use it when I let them out for a little exercise and enrichment. My carpets will just keep cruising it up and down, the bulls and olive head straight for the floor, and the boas and scrub quickly perch themselves.

I agree! :) But if you don't want to build something like that, or don't have the space for something that doesn't fold out of the way, consider a 6' step ladder- ;) Just make sure there's no sharp edges or small openings where a snake might get stuck (-normally not an issue with any ladders I've seen). They're quite stable.

Re: Most Recent Snake Picture!
Not the best quality pic but something about a comfy snake with a full belly is so cute. She barely fits in these hides anymore, especially right after eating

this was after the female decided to get artistic with her poop and had to have a bath :halohorn:

Let's hope she got her 'bad behavior' out of the way for a while now then- :rofl: Pretty snakes can [almost] get away with "murder".
