Thanks guys! :) And Leliana does have permanent residence here ;) However if I ever find a male mojave to pair her with you guys will be the first to know! :P

This is a great thread. To watch Leliana grow with you has been a pleasure. I literally spent the better part of 2-3 hours reading and looking at the pics during down time at work. She is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

That is awesome to hear how much people enjoy the pics! :) I do what I can to spread both cute pictures of snakes and good info on them as well. I've gotten a lot of the publics opinions turned positive from my hat pics!
Speaking of which, I have made her a Christmas hat! Merry Hissmass or Happy Snolidays (snake holidays ;) ) to all of you!

I have a lesser-butter male who is only at 150 gr, it had a lot of issues at the begining, not wanting to eat and being really unintrested on his food. I was really worried he was not going to make it, and I consider it my little gem, fortunately though he started eating like a champ just a week ago! Your BEL has inspired me to see how mine grows and give it as much love and care as you do, I'll upload some pics :-)

Thanks! Glad he's doing better now :D
More Christmas pics because im a nerd and she's tolerant, haha

Still don't know how you manage to keep it on her head haha! I bet she had clay stains. [emoji5]

Omg! I love the Rudolph! Cutest reindeer ever:)

Oh my god <3 <3 <3
Also the NAME!!

She's gorgeous, holy crap!!

Thanks guys! :D Yeah I am a huge DA nerd, and her blue eyes reminded me so much of game Leliana that I stole the name :P hahaha
Here's a quick update pic (ignore the blue background, its from my LEDs under my gaming desk)

Same. I actually just finished a DA:O replay and I'm moving in to 2 now, haha.

She is so gorgeous, that lighting almost makes her look like a fade spirit :D

Some close ups! <3

I love her! Since Leliana has gone viral and I see her on FB or tumblr all the time. She's famous haha [emoji3] how do you get her to keep her hats on? My snake does not approve of them hahaha

Her hats are made of play dough, and so are a tiny bit sticky :) I gently press them to her head and they usually stay on!
She is still around 1900g :)

the fourth one down is my fave!

Your adorable noodle played a big hand in my 6 month struggle to get my fiance to let me get a noodle of my own. Also being annoying and finding ways to inject snake talk into unrelated conversations, but mostly pictures lol. So thank you. [emoji16]

I've been drawing snakes lately (from photos!), and made an attempt at Leliana. Whit on a white background is challenging. And I'm a doofus and forgot to make her eyes blue. [emoji849] Anyway, here's the Princess Python:

lol so cute!!! How did you keep the egg stuck to her head?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leliana is absolutely GORGEOUS! I thought I'd seen her on facebook before haha. What happened with her babies, if I may ask?

The egg was made of play dough, so was a little bit sticky :) Once it fell off the photoshoot was over, haha.
So, we found out the fathers genetics were weak, which caused a few of the babies to die directly after hatching :( He has been retired to pet only now, and the four babies that survived are all in very good pet-only homes as well :)
This year Leliana is being paired to a proved male with sturdy genetics :)
I took some pics of her today being a literal puppy :P
