Most Recent Snake Picture!

The arms…. Omg I’m dying. He’s so expressive now.

Happy colubrids, and they've finally finished off the last of the excess pinkies too.

This is also the first time I've gotten to witness Mira actually eat. I've never seen a snake eat so fast (downed everything in 5 minutes), and her mouth opens far wider than I expected of a snake of her size. Wide enough in fact that she swallowed two pinkies simultaneously. :omg:

:gj: Rat snakes are usually good at gulping down food quickly- most have a wide gape, which helps, along with motivation. The Beauty rat snakes have a proportionally longer face that means they're "born to gulp". :D My slowest eater is my rosy boa. I love to feed my rat snakes- they don't mess around. If you enjoy snakes that eat fast, you'd also like the Pituophis family- bull, gopher & pine snakes. Like rat snakes, they're active hunters that eat on the fly.

I've yet to keep one of any kind, but boas as a whole always felt slowgoing to me. They certainly are compared to half my current crew at least. :P

He sure looks happy in there! These pythons might be small but not their personality, that's for sure. :cool:

You can even see a bit of iridescence on his head.

It seems to have the square body type indicative of a boa.

Snake time with my one of my nieces and two nephews. :snake:

I held Mira exclusively since I don't trust her with anyone else still (though no bites this time), but one of the nephews did gently pet along her back end while I kept her head away. Zebes and Hocotate were well-behaved boys as always. :D

Also made sure there was no physical interaction between the snakes. Doubt they would've done anything to each other but I always play it safe.

Beautiful snakes! The last one is my favorite pic- it really shows how what may appear to be "bold markings" (ie. the black eye stripe) make very good camouflage when they slink around in their natural environment. (They have to remember not to give away their hiding place by flicking their long tongues, though! Hahaha!)

That's because she's been getting more confident. She used to freeze and wait to hide away at the slightest sight of me but now she will intentionally leave her head out to stare me down and do long, slow tongue flicks to show that not only is she aware of my presence, but how unhappy she is with said presence.

My other snakes are ambivalent and aloof for the most part when it comes to dealing with me, but with her she will take any opportunity to display some defiant sass. :rolleyes:

:rofl: I know well the "sass" whereof you speak. I love that about some snake personalities.

More pics showcasing her length (and sass :rolleyes:).

Love the subtle colors in your photo, ThePain- :gj:

Thanks, this guy sits out like this almost 24/7. Draped over his log, with his body coiled in the hide in back.

Sure, why not? That's a perfect ambush position for him- he's not doing it just to be photogenic. :D But he's that, too.

The morning sun comes up, puts a beam in the enclosures every morning. The BP’s are almost always in their hides at this time. But green trees seem to like catching that morning sun. Sorta bask in it until they tuck their heads away to sleep.
