Hey Guys....Meet TURK!
Last year at Daytona, BP.net was blessed to be able to get a table. One of the things we wanted to have available was a snake that would make a good "public relations" animal for us....something kids could safely hold and that would be an excellent educational helper at the same time.
Kara, from NERD was gracious enough to donate Turk for our cause. He's a BIG boy! He was a rescue that NERD took in some time ago. I'm not sure of his history, but you can see that he came with some nasty scars. While it makes me sad to wonder what he'd gone through in years past, I was glad to have such an animal to show to the public. He was a quintessential laid back animal that showed folks how calm and "friendly" they can be. He is an excellent representation of the size a mature ball python can grow to. And his scars were a vivid warning to folks that these are living creatures that can suffer through neglect and carelessness.
He's currently making himself at home with me.

He stole my chair!!
He may be "just" a "plain ol' ordinary normal male" ball python...but I'm VERY fond of this guy!! I'm proud to give him a good home with lots of yummy rats to fill his tummy!
