Outside Tic Pics
Since the weather is warming up and the grass is turning green I thought I'd take a few outside pics.
This will be a thread where I show off my tics outdoors (FINALLY!)
Hope you all enjoy seeing some of my tics under natural light. They enjoy getting to stretch out as well lol.
I'll try to take a few pics of a different retic each day. Might even throw in a burm or anaconda too.
Anyhow, here is my current biggest tic. +12' 35lbs baby named Big Baby.

Thank you. How do you submit one? Any forum contest I've been a part of was on car forums and my pic was nominated by members.

Re: Outside Tic Pics
Beautiful snake, some day I'd like to get a retic, normals are still my favorite. I have a female burm, for now, one large python is enough. We got 18 inches of snow here yesterday, so it will be a bit before my snakes and Sulcata get any action outside.

Awesome! Do you have to watch out for anything particular when taking them outside to play in the grass? I mean any kind of bugs or anything that you need to worry about them picking up?

Not really. I keep them out of dog poop, stinging nettle, ant hills and spider webs lol. Other than that anything that could hop on them and cause issues you can't safeguard agaisnt. I'm in the yard enough that the pests would just come in with me even if I didn't bring the snakes outside.
Plus our climate here doesn't support many bugs that would cause detriment to the snakes. It's still dropping down to 40° at night right now, and 80-85° in the daytime.

Lol thanks man. I actually do watch out for my neighbors. I don't want them knowing I have a new car worth of snakes in my snake room.
Plus people get scared of snakes and call the city and give me hassle.

Yep my neighbors stare and this is why I always do shoots in the backyard. Did one in the front one time and the venue across the street flipped even though I do snake shows for them often.

That's pretty crazy that they would flip AFTER knowing you have snakes, let alone after using your services with the snakes. Some people.
But let's face it, snakes aren't everyone's favorite animals, and Giant snakes are usually near or at the top of the list for most feared. People are afraid of hots too, but at least they are native in the US. We don't have any 14-25' snakes here native lol.
We not only get to be the wierd bad guys, but the SUPER wierd bad guys lol.
