Well it's been quite the day with our collection. During normal watering/cage checks I managed to tick off three of the snakes.

Rionach whose never been anything but easy natured made a very credible attempt to nail me. Other than a hide in my hand blocking her, she'd have managed a nice nip the little witch LOL.

Malachi who is always a bit hissy, decided to find his boy boy snake voice today. Holy wow but the hair on my arms literally went up! He's in blue so I understand he's not in a spiffy mood but boy can he hiss now that he's growing up!

So on to Rauri the big BCI. Mike had him out while I removed the urates from his enclosure when he just swung around and targeted me with his mouth wide open! A bit shocking - though he didn't follow through or anything.

Geesh what's up....the snakes don't like me today I'm wondering if it's possible that I smelled funny to them. I had just been sitting on the couch cuddling with our new puppy before I started my snake rounds. I wonder if the puppy smell set them off?
