    Almost 8 Years Old.

    I don't take this girl out enough.

    This is my son's snake, Hunter. She's a normal royal and has been very nice. The only snake here I haven't been bitten by. My favorite snake pattern is the one I have with my Tiger Retic, but there is something very special about a nice looking normal royal.

    Hunter hasn't eaten since October, but she is in good condition and seems rather content.

    She is the snake that stared it ALL for me.

    Enjoy her rare deck rail photos.



    These are in the evening and the sun is low.


    Great head shot.


    She's a nice little snake.

    Thanks for showing Hunter to us. She has special markings indeed. I still think Nature does the best paint jobs.

    I’m guilty of not giving my BP the attention she deserves. It seems the other snakes get the bulk of attention.

    I had Elvira (BP) out yesterday and it sure was nice having an easy going snake out not looking to tear stuff up and get into trouble like my other guys.

    Hopefully Hunter will eat any day now after 9 months of fasting. I’m surprised she is fasting so long since you feed conservatively. I know she wasn’t overweight.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the kind comments!

    Hunter is maybe 4.5 feet long.

    The pictures are from my I-Phone Xs.

    She is fed as often as she will eat. It seems to be live only, and that's not guarantee.

    I hope she will start up soon, but I'm never worried about royals not eating. She's hydrated and has decent muscle tone, but I'd like to see her a lot heavier. That's up to her though.

    Got that right!!!

    I prefer Mother Nature colors and patterns.

    Even the tiger retic pattern came from an anomaly in nature.

    Although man made morph stuff is also fascinating.
