This girl (Jewel) is a bit of a trip. She's coastal carpet crossed with something and is not known for her steady eating habits. She is very busy at night and an absolute pleasure to hold and work with. She's closing in on 7 feet and is still light bodied and nimble. She is probably the nicest snake here.
She took a smaller, large, live rat that the royal refused yesterday, and then a large F/T quail. She fed from, and stayed in her perches all night.
Her coloring is certainly more coastal looking these days. Greying and browning out which is OK with me as I like natural looking animals that resemble the "wild type" critters in their habitat.
Here is Jewel after a nice meal.
I used my I-Phone and I typically take a photo with and without the flash.
This is an identical, or almost identical shot with no flash.
This is why I like display caging, and semi arboreal snakes. When I walk into the snake room, I don't always have to look underneath hides, or check the corners of the cages for curled up snakes.
This was my version of watching TV last night!
