I hate to call any snake "bombproof" but so far these really take the cake. I have yet to hatch a particularly uppity stimsoni...even the occasional peckerheads have tamed down for me exceptionally well.

The male pictured has been part of educational programs/displays for me for the better part of 6 years...he is just a gem, both in looks & personality.

I've been through a lot of "downsizing" and "reprioritizing" in terms of my personal collection over the past decade, and all I can say is that these guys will *always* be a part of it. They make the cut every single time.

Wonderful animals, Kara. It's always a treat to see them.

Don't you have some papuan pythons? If so, I'd really enjoy seeing a pic or two sometime. Very interesting snakes.

Hey April!!! :)

First off, thanks for the kind words. :D From a girl who's as herp-diversified as you, that means a lot. :D

We do have a nice little group of Papuans, all of which are on breeding loan with a good friend of mine. We made the decision last year to send them out ot someone who could really take time & focus on them, since we had our hands full over here with moving & book writing (among other things).

In the mean time, you can see some pics on our Papuan page.

;)

K~

They've got such interesting faces.. cool snakes!

Hey when are you expecting blood python eggs to be hatching? I might need another one.. these two are so much fun.

Wow.....beautiful pictures of amazing animals, Kara! One of my dreams is to see your collection and your facilities in person!

Hmmm...I should take pics of the same 2 snakes when they're laying straight instead of coiled (and also not full of food)...you'd be surprised at how well-proportioned they actually are. Bloods & short-tails are indeed heavy-bodied animals, but most of mine typically run on the slim side compared to what you normally see in blood collections. ;)

I always enjoy seeing your pictures Kara! I too would love to one day visit your facility. In the meantime, I can still look forward to Daytona and seeing what jewels you bring with you!

What kind of snake is Bele?

She's a Borneo short-tailed python (Python breitensteini) from a new project I'm working on...
