A few more collection pics

Yes, you don't have to tell me I take lots of pics.. I can't help it!

Mr Harry the burm is growing like a weed and eating like a piggy! He's such a nice boy.

Rusalka the female yellow anaconda actually is taming down quite nicely.. I just don't take chances hence the gloves!

This is Precious.. she is the foster sand boa that I am taking care of for awhile for some people. She wouldn't eat for them.. and still is having to be force fed rat tails by me weekly. She is still underweight, but much better now!

Thanks for looking!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE sand boas! The Anaconda is amazing too! Haha I dont blame ya with the gloves ;)

Thing is I can hold the bigger male anaconda without gloves and be reasonably sure he won't do anything.. Rusalka just likes to nibble without warning sometimes. Little stinker.

Since you like sand boas, here's my three. The normal kenyan is in shed in the pic as you can see:

April, you have such an amazing collection!! Mr. Harry the Burm is spectacular! And the little fostered sand-boa....such a sweet little worm! LOL Do you worry about her getting the nutrients she needs from just the tails? Still, it's gotta be better than nothing. :)

TY so much for the extra sand boa pics! Here's pics of 2 of my babies. Seraph the sand boa, and Halen the BP.

Judy - actually the breeder I bought my sand boas from recommended the rat tails to me. He said they must be packed with protein because he's seen drastic turn-arounds from feeding rat tails. I can't see any problems from feeding them.. after all they have bone, skin, muscle, and even some hair.

Vomitore - what a lovely anery kenyan! Do you have more pics? Looks like she has very clean pattern!

The BP is a cutie too. ;)

Gorgeous pics as always, Shelby! Rusalka has some lovely iridescence going on! And I still adore that name, lol.

TY for the compliment! I love the color and pattern. GREAT snake too. I love how they try to borrow in the palm of your hand. Here's some more photos.

How big is she and where did you get her? She is gorgeous!

Very nice pics. I love Harry the burm especially! :pinkele: :colbert2:

Aww, our baby Harry is growing up! What a cutie...=)

Glad to hear the foster kid is doing okay...can't wait to see her fully fattened up. =)

What beautiful kids you've got there. I've been actually toying with the idea of buying a burm five or so years down the road.

And the condas? Stunning.

I got her when she was about 8 weeks old, she's about 14 weeks old now. She's already about 13-14 inches now. She's growing quick. Such a great snake though. She'll just curl up in my hands when I watch TV. She's so much fun to watch when I go to bed. I got her night heat lamp on so I can see her explore her home.

That's cool.. I think they're so cute when they burrow in the substrate and you see the line where they're moving, then their little face pops up like a periscope.

Wow, they're all awesome! Your burm has the cutest little face :)

Harry sure is a cutie that's for sure...Nice little bunch of kiddies there.

I think I have a new found love for sand boas:)

Great pics!

:) I can never get enough of your collection! Great pics.. I'm a photo whore too... :P

Shelby,
I have a question about your Burm. I see the patches on it. Is that normal or does it make it special in some way? Like a Het or a Hypo?

Like I've written to you before that's an amazing burm!! Question do you have the most snake's other than the breeder's on this site. I could tell you probably have the bigest variety.

Sand boas rock! Can't go wrong with them.. I highly recommend them to any snake enthusiast. :)

Lars - I really don't know the genetics behind the patternless spots that some granites exhibit, but it only appears on some of them. Harry was the only male of the clutch with the patternless spots, that's why I picked him.

emilio - well, I'm breeding a pair of kingsnakes this year so I can be considered a 'breeder' too :P but.. no there are plenty of others here that have more snakes than I do. Not sure about variety though.. I keep 15 different species.

Smulkin & Smynx have a pretty big collection with a wide variety of critters...not sure on the numbers though.
