A few shots

of Puppy. He quite enjoys the outdoors, and riding with me when I walk the dogs.

I'm sure some of you here will tell me it's not safe or healthy to be taking him outside, but his vet told me otherwise, and Puppy loves it a whole lot.

That's pretty much his favorite spot of all is with me though. Puppy is a cuddle bug. His tank sits right next to my computer, and Puppy has learned to use his vents to make a noise similar to a whistle. If I'm sitting at the computer, he'll raise up, attempt to attach himself to the lid of his tank, and start whisteling at me until I pay him attention. As soon as I pick him up, he'll stop the noise. He'll curl around my neck and be satisfied, but only for a few minutes. If I continue to work on the computer, he'll slide down my arms, wrap his head around the mouse, and curl his body up on the keyboard, rendering my computer unuseable. Or if I'm trying to talk on the phone, he'll force his body between my ear and the phone, and wrap himself around it so I can't use it. Same thing if I'm texting. Also, if there is someone else around, if I'm standing there talking to him, and not paying him attention, he'll start whisteling again, or he'll hiss at the person to make them be quiet. He's the kind of snake that wants ALL your attention.

As mentioned, he loves going outside and for walks. He'll get angry at me and ignore me if I don't take him along. The minute a leash comes out and dogs start barking, he starts his roof-climbing-and-whisteling routine.

Some beautiful shots there! I particularly like the first one! Surreal!

What kind of camera? I'd try reducing the exposure time if you can, less glare on some and reduce the camera shake.

Outdoor shots are some of the best... though you won't see anymore from me until all this damn snow disappears!

Thanks =] And it's an old Canon camera. Well not old, only a year. But it's been through it's share of bad times XD

Puppy always gives me better shots outdoors. He's explored inside so many times that he's so bored with it, but outdoors gets him excited. It's pretty adorable =]

hey there :) awesome shots!

awesome pictures! Keep up the awesome photography! For real though I love the pics where he's got his neck stretched upwards like he's trying to look far ahead... My male pastel does it and i think its' kinda cute... = P

Those are some really great shots!!! That first one really made me say
"oh wow"

Thanks, all of you =] I'm hoping to get some more photos taken today of him, and I'm hoping to get some good ones of the redtail, Absinthe, if my boyfriend can get her to cooperate.

That 1st pic. is great!!! Handsome guy you got there!

Welcome to Bp.net where info for these great herp's and husbandry tip's are plentiful:welcome: :colbert2:

He looks like a big, healthy guy! I take mine outside, but not anytime soon, as it's about 1 degree Farenheit with the wind chill :)
I think it's fine, as long as the temp is not below 75-80 degrees and you stay away from anthills, chemically treated lawn, beehives, roving hawks, eagles, etc...

wow, that top one would make a great desktop image if it were a little bit larger...

I love how dark Puppy's head is.

I'd be careful about that raising up and "whistling." That sound can be a sign of a respritory infection, as can his raising up. If he is resting his head at the top of his tank, he could be trying to get any fluids to drain down away from his nose.

Taking him outside in cold weather can compromise his immune system, making him susceptible to a RI.

Great pics, and I hope his "whistle" really is a self-taught way to get your attention...

It is self taught. He's been to the vet, and been given a clean bill of health. Plus, he only does it if I'm around. If it's my boyfriend at the computer, Puppy ignores him. If my friends are watching him while I'm out of town, he ignores them. My boyfriend and other family members have heard it done, but it's never been directed towards anyone else =]

Also, the pictures are from in the early fall, when it was still warmer out. I know better than to take a cold blooded snake into the cold XD

wow, he looks dark .... that's cool

What a handsome boy. And a cool name, too...;)

Great pics!!! love the periscoping! Looks like one happy snake!

Very cool pics! I also really like the first one, got a larger pic of it? I'd also like it for a desktop pic =)

Very interesting pics. :)

Thank you =] I wanted something that sounded unusual for a snake, and other than "Mouse", which he didn't look like, Puppy seemed pretty unusual. And with his loyalty and preference for cuddling, it fit =]

As for everyone who wants a desktop version of the first pic:
Click the link below so I don't have to stretch out the board :)
Wallpaper Size

That was the largest I could get it without making it look horribly distorted and fuzzy.

I've already commented your pics but after looking at pics a couple of times I really like the first picture alot...I especially dig the way the light reflects off of his back...great job!
