Gird yer panties arfcommers. Pics of snakes below.
Thought I'd share some more recent pics of our snakes. If you've got snakes, please, post some pics. 
No, this is not a threat posture, I caught the pic at the tail end of a yawn... 
This is our newcomer. He won't be here for a while yet... 
One of the enclosures...

snakes are cool Indeed. They aren't for me, but are cool as hell! Nice pics! I appreciate them for the marvels of biology that they are. Their metabolic adjustments to environment, adaptations for feeding, success in niches of all varieties and chemistry are all fascinating. They also creep me the fuck out. |

Man! Is that a newborn? It's got to be the smallest ring neck I've ever seen......

Dog, cats, hamsters, mice, rats, etc stink, not snakes. |

very cool pic's and post.
Snakes always have the best CAMO - I do not understand why someone has not come out with a "snake" pattern. I always had a snake as a pet growing up - my fave was a speckeled king snake. I always wanted a scarlet king snake (looks like a coral snake) - caught one not too long ago - watch it craw into my garage - caught it and took it to a great place not too far fromt he house and set it loose to go do it's thing. As far as the people that kill snakes on sight - sad that they do not understand that each person and thing has a place in this world. You leave them alone and they will leave you alone. Red

Quoted: Hard_Rock, what kind of snake is this? It's simply gorgeous. http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr136/efillc/Charlene/IMG_8470.jpg I'm gonna guess that it's a california king snake. |

If not, feces build up will reek. Snakes themselves don't smell bad unless they musk you. |

Some more pics.
These two will be finding their way here in a couple of months. They are a breeding pair of red tail boas. I love the "Whatcha doing?" look on the female in the hide looking at the male killing the fuck out of the rat. 
This is a baby rainbow boa. He's only 3 months old and absolutely stunning and a wonderful little guy.
