wrapped in slithering coils

Snake photos! I've been meaning to get around to these for... 2? 3? years. Paul graciously assisted, while Lua tried to pull my shirt off.


(From the back, while she's got the front twisted in her coils.)

She's grown from a tiny little ribbon to be somewhere between 6 and 7 feet.


Then there's the cool tongue flicking action of tiger rats.





(I'm amused at how I seem to be exuding childish glee in this one.)



And here's Rune, restoring the furry balance.

Not really. She's my most aggressive snake, but most of it when in the enclosure as her species is very territorial. I have to use gloves and a hook to get her out, but after she's out she settles a bit, although she has been known to lunge at others. Her dad, when I handled him, was incredibly mellow, but her mom was known to be rather flighty. I like her, even though my nickname for her is "Queen Bitch". :D
