Mike and I mostly bring some snakes out when the house is quiet in the evening. Things that are "fun" to do with snakes....


1) Play the get your tongue out of my ear/nose/eyeball game with Rionnach (05 female BP)...she's always been fascinated with any place she can stick her snout into...and can't seem to get the concept that she can't fit in my ear nor do I store spare rats in there LOL)

2) Watch Kyna (03 female BP) nose about in our son's toys. She's always gone straight for Mikey's toy train and trucks and such like. No idea why but she seems quite interested in his stuff.

3) Play the rather stressful game of "look ma I'm hiding in the couch!" with some sneaky snake that was pretending to be napping on my lap and as soon as I looked away.....made a mad dash for the depths of the couch (who says BP's can't book it if they want to LOL).

4) Do the hand over hand over hand thing with Emi (05 Nelson's Milksnake)...kind of like a slinky thing lol....she's small, busy and quick so handling her isn't very relaxing but it's always a joy to see this amazing albino snake in action.

5) Just relaxing with one of the big BP's or the BCI and be still amazed at their sheer beauty and grace in movement...those rippling muscles and their gentle power still give me such a sense of awe. It's a gift to handle them and know that they are allowing it for us humans.
