This is my very first snake. I appreciate all you guys helping me and I'm really happy with C.B. I actually didn't take this picture, my roommate did it when I wasn't home. I don't know if I like him using the flash on him, since he's still getting used to the area, but the pic turned out well.

Take a deep breath.........

THE.......SNAKE.......WILL......BE.......FINE......!!!! :cool:
 
Nice snake. Looks like he's pretty long already. I think we all worried about every little thing when we bought our first one. Eventually we realize how robust they really are.
 
true, now I let mine slither around the kitchen knives, and dont worry, because that's what scales are for. also, when I'm cooking, and I got water boiling, I used to be afraid while holding it, but after the snake fell in the water, and the burns only lasted till hte next shed, I knew they were pretty much indestructable.

You have GOT to be kidding...

First of all, it is irresponsible to put your snake in danger's way.

Secondly, a snake should never be allowed on your kitchen counters, utensils, etc. And you should never be holding one while you are preparing food. That's a VERY good way to get salmonella.

So......I guess I shouldn't be using the engine belt on my truck as a snake treadmill???? :confused:
 
darkpbstar, I sure hope like heck that you are pulling everyones leg. Because that is simply irresponsibility otherwise.

CAV, Oh brother......you're definitely back....lol


DdotSpot, Nice looking little one you have there. Glad you are finally able to share a picture with everyone. I don't think the flash will bother him that much, not for a couple pictures worth. Just a suggestion, but the water dish you are using is pretty shallow and will run dry very fast from evaporation as well as much easier for the snake to knock bedding into it. The best type of water dish is a deeper one like the small crocks and stuff. The water won't evaporate fast and the snake won't knock its bedding into it. This is JUST a suggestion and can be taken with a grain of salt. :)
 
Why not CAV? You might only scrape a couple hundred scales off, but heck, they'll grow back after the next shed! ;)

Thanks...I did upgrade to a larger bowl. I really appreciate the suggestion :) Oh and to the folks that called him a snow - as far as I am told he's supposed to be a blizzard... Here's a better picture of him, I picked him up last night for the first time!!

In the first picture, he just looked big because of the camera perspective...I thought the same thing when I was looking at the picture.

aww shoot :( Should I tell the place I got it from?? Ask for my money back and such? I could have gotten a snow here in town...I ordered him specifically from California because its the only place I could find.

It still looks a snow corn to me..A blizzard is pretty much all white with little to no patterns. You can see a decent amount of patern on yours..

In my opinion, that's definitley a blizzard. The red cheeks give it away. You rarely see red cheeks on snows.

The fact that is shows markings so much at this age is usually a sign that it'll have a considerable amount of yellow on it as an adult, but that's not always a given.
