I am trying not to break my own arm patting myself on the back, but I'm particularly proud of this sequence of pics! They turned out great, (except for a couple slightly blurry ones) and Eddy cooperated wonderfully, although Zeus is showing the stubborn eater side of Ball Pythons!

Here goes your guided tour, starting with Zeus, who is a '03 male, possible possible het for piebald (425g)-----

Zeus is demonstrating for us how you know when your snake is NOT hungry.....




Zeus refused last weeks meal, too.

Our next series is courtesy of Eddy, who will demonstrate for us how you know when your snake IS hungry....

Notice the appetizers that the main course has provided to whet Eddy's appetite!

The S-curves in the neck area (Do snakes have necks?:roll is a good indication that a strike is imminent.


Notice the difference in the two photo series'. In the first, Zeus didn't even pause to say "hello," "get outta the way," or anything else to the rat as he passed by. In the second series, Eddy decides to communicate non-verbally, saying, "I think you should come over for dinner!"

Eddy was nice enough to invite me over to photographically document his dinner with Ms. Ratty, who incidentally weighs....er....weighed....81 grams. Eddy's weight before tonight's supper was 312 grams.

Here is Eddy greeting his female dinner date at the door with one of those European kiss-on-the-cheek greetings...

Followed by a nice bear hug, to show his affection for his date...

Which leads to some pre-dinner neckin'....

And a little tongue....

Oops! Eddy got a little carried away with the tongue action!

"Uh-oh! What have I done?!!"


BELCH!


Oh, well, Eddy is a good lookin' guy. I'm sure he can get another date next week!
