Pics of my snakes outdoors, finally!

Finally the temps here in rural NY topped 75 yesterday, so I took the family out for a photo shoot. Here's Octavia the little '03 female; Goblin the old male I got at a rep show last year; and the rescue case male, who I renamed Striker. Also a few pics of my bci. What do ya think?

Buffalo has been my football team since before they lost the superbowls!!I still support 'em strong!! Im a member of thier forum also. Do you like the Bills?

Cool, Ginevive! I'm glad you were able to take them out for a little while. Did you have all 4 out at once or one at a time? As quickly as they can move when they want to, I'm worried about taking more than two out at a time if I'm by myself with them.

If the Bills are your team then clearly you are into torture like me!! Ginevive, the weather yesterday was AMAZING. Unfortunately I was sick as a dog & couldn't really enjoy it. I live in an apartment complex near a ton of woods so I dunno if I feel good about takin Hissy out cuz I am guessin it is tick central out there!

No, I had them out seperately. Strikey is so frantic when you first handle him, that I'd be afraid he'd actually escape and head for the woods! And the bci is also quite a fast little thing. But Octavia just gets scared and balls up, and Goblin would sit still for an hour if you let him. :)
I used to be a big bills fan, but now I really don't watch football much anymore; I work every Sunday afternoon!
I would be worried about ticks around here; I only had them on the deck, and for a short time only. I just got them over a bout with ticks, and I do NOT want to go through anything like that ever again.
Thanks everyone for the compliments!

Nice looking snakes, I live in CA. I was going to take the boys out today to look for some snakes but it's 63 degrees and rainning. So we didn't get to go.
But atleast you guys got some nice weather. Enjoy.

I'm in So Cal too! Yeah, weather was crappy today. It stopped raining where I was, but then it was really windy.

Yes So. CA. weather stunk Sat. But it's been really weird all of this year, It warmed up too early this year just long enough to bring all my Bearded Dragons out of brumation. Durring the warm monthes I keep them in an outdoor enclousure I built for them. The only problem is when we have heavy rains, or really cold weather the boys and I have to go outside and find all 12 of them and set them up in temperary rubermaid boxes. I wish it would just warm up and stay above 80 so it would make my life easier. LOL

I'm thinking about taking my bp out today - the forcast high is 75' F!!! Maybe I'll take some pictures too. :)

I hate weather! The last few days we had 70-s temperatures. So I turned down the heat, and last night it got around 40 degrees out, and the house was freezing. Luckily my snake cages are heated seperately. But I hate bad weather!!

Ticks make me wary of taking Samson outside, and i live in the city, if you have woods in your back yard then im sure it is infested with ticks. So be carefull, some ticks could make your snake very sick like they do humans im sure. BUT you cant keep a baby caged up its whole life either!!

tight pics gin!
can I steal Goblin?

Great pictures!
The last one of your boa was great! (rotm)!!
