She's Just That Cool

[Gio]

I keep coming back to this girl as the "go to" for outdoor R&R.

The reticulated python doesn't like to easily come out of his viv, he doesn't sit still when he is out and I could never go totally hands off with him outside.

The boa constrictor did make it out last night. He's one I enjoy having out but he usually ends up on a mission and typically tries to work his way to the grass from the rail.

The royal is one I don't like to disturb too often.


Jewel is different. Almost every time I take her out, she stretches to full length and relaxes. This lasted about 35 minutes last night while I had a frosty beverage and waited for the grill to warm up. By the way, these are actually photos I took last night even though they appear similar to all the rest of the deck rail pictures.



We were waiting on some big storms to come in later in the evening, something I enjoy watching develop, so it was close to the perfect night here.

If you are one that is on the fence about reticulated pythons due to the size and activity level, I highly recommend carpet pythons.

This Coastal Carpet Python mix was purchased for next to nothing at an expo back in 2014. She's 6 years old now and probably the best all around snake in the collection.
