    First snake experience

    My best friend and his family came over this weekend, and although he busts my chops for my snake habit, he did not hesitate to hold a snake (Dr Waffles) for the for the very first time. Now to recreate this shot every year and watch my friend shrink 😂

    0.1 Jungle, het snow BI: Gimel
    1.0 green albino, het granite Burm: Dr. Waffles

    Haha, he might not have the stones to hold Dr Waffles in a few years!

    Seriously, that is a great idea; a whole new new spin on doing a progression thread.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
    Mack The Knife, 2013
    Lizzy, 2010
    Etta, 2013
    1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
    Esmarelda , 2014
    Sundance, 2012
    2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    Another one!
    This time my mother-in-law, who's always been supportive yet squeamish, just couldn't resist the Dr's charms!

    oh man, i have this one neighbor who is terrified of snakes, i've been trying to convince her to have a controlled first encounter for years, i really think it would be cathartic.
