I've managed to keep my snakes alive, healthy, and growing for 5 years now, I'm looking at getting into a 7th species (dumerils boa) next month, and that will be my 11th snake. It just occurred to me that maybe I can start calling myself an intermediate snake keeper. I still think of myself as...

She's a girl!! Little update on this "guy". He's a girl! She laid eggs for me all summer last year, lost a lot of weight doing it, I could barely feed her enough to keep up. This year, she hasn't laid a single one, but still acts just as hungry. I've gotten her weight back up (possibly even...

Think about the size of a pencil. Only squirming. I was afraid I would lose or break my first couple of babies, and feeding them used to stress me out. On the other hand, I LOVE having pictures like these to look back on, and they don't stay that tiny for long. Pro's to an older snake, it...

First of all, it's been a while! Things are good here. I got married and moved out to an acreage and now I'm dealing with step-kids and puppies and kittens and chickens and a garden... it keeps me busy and I haven't kept up with the regular weighing/measuring and other fun stuff I used to do...

Hi. Ripley has had some weird brown crusty scales on the top of her snout, kind of from her nostrils to the middle of her forehead, and then the very tip of her bottom lip, and on the odd scale going down her back as well. It didn't look inflamed or infected, nor did it look particularly...

2017 update When I did all my other updates Relic was looking dark, so I figured he was going to shed soon. I waited and waited and he finally went blue, shed, and... he's still really dark! I guess this is just a new development in his coloration. He has some heavy dark lines down his back...

And a few more, cause why not?

2017 update Well, I can't remember exactly how long Cipher lasted in the 2'x2' viv, but it wasn't long. He's so active, and was rearranging his furnishings on a daily basis, always making a mess. He thought the funnest thing to do was go into his humid hide, which has a heavy lid, and push up...

And he's really too cute to stop there. So here are some more!

2017 update Wow have I ever slacked on updating this guy (or girl?)! He/She is huge now compared to these previous pictures. If I remember correctly, I think we're around 175g, and 22". I see him out much more frequently now, and he's actually started using hides, not just burrowing or...

Eve's tail Tavia, here are some pictures of her tail for you to look at. I don't know if they're good enough. I've never been able to master the art of sexing by tail shape, no matter how hard I try. Also one extra picture, just because it's so cute.

Here are the last few pictures.

Better pictures! Okay, I took the time to try to get some better pictures of my lesser ball python, Finn. I just think he's so pretty! He's my only yellow snake, and my only non-colubrid. I don't think I'll be getting any more ball pythons, at this point I feel like one is enough, but I do...

2017 update Solace is now all caught up in size. He's my biggest after Ripley (my overweight ultramel anery). He's 430g and 4'. He's holding on to his pink coloration, which is great! I've read that opals can sometimes fade to white after a few years, but so far I think he's as pink as...

And the last 5:

2017 update Raven has gotten even redder. She never quite tamed out as much as my other corns for some reason, so this photo shoot was a little exciting trying to catch a quickly moving snake. Fortunately, the camera likes her and I got a few reasonably good shots. Here she is. I suspect...

Picture #1. Not great focus, but notice the hips on her! Picture #2. Even her shadow has hips! Hahaha. I cut and pasted it into the top right corner of the picture so you can see. Anyway, another shot of obvious hips, from a different angle.

2017 update: chunky monkey! Okay guys, I'll admit it. Ripley is FAT! I started noticing sometime last year, so I started feeding her a little less often. And then even less often. And then bumped her down from adult mice to subadult mice. And she is only just now finally starting to look a...

And the last 4...
