Talk about your opinion of snakes, and if you have any snakes then talk about them and maybe post pictures.
Here's a video i did with my corn snake, ball python, and boa constrictor. My reticulated python was shedding at the time, plus she moves around a lot(so trying to film her would be difficult anyway), so that's why she wasn't in there. Anyway, i entered it into the snake video contest they're having on reptilechannel, so please vote for it if you like it(you can vote every 24 hours): http://www.reptilechannel.com/editorial ... es&Index=1
I'd like to have more snakes, but i don't have the money for it now. I went to the reptile show in Raleigh yesterday and saw a bunch of snakes i wish i could have. My favorite was an albino tiger retic. I got to hold him for awhile and he was really neat... It was funny because i went over and held him right after this one guy who had his big burmese python out told me that retics are "aggressive" when i said i had one... lol. Of course when you tell someone that they aren't aggressive if they are used to people, they don't want to listen to you. I wish i had room for another retic, i love them! I bought frozen rodents and rabbits from the same guy that i bought from at the last few shows. He actually gave me a cheaper price on most of what i got because he recognized me as a repeat customer Most people i've come across at reptile shows are really nice! My friend who went with me got two Mexican Milksnakes and a Dumeril's Boa.
We went to the natural science museum yesterday too, and they had a nice little collection of snakes.. Mostly venomous. The cottonmouth was awesome, because he was up at the front of his cage like he was posing for people, lol. He seemed like he was used to being watched though, because he didn't do the mouth display thing. They also had timber, pigmy, and diamondback rattlesnakes, and there was supposed to be a copperhead but he must have been hiding. The venomous snakes we have in NC are pretty cool.. I wish i came across more of them.
There's also probably various snakes living in my yard... I know there are a couple black racers living under the steps from our garage to back yard. One of my cats was pestering one of them the other day(he's about three feet long), and i picked him up to get him away from the cats. He didn't even try to bite or anything, he just slithered off and hid super fast when i put him back over by the steps.. But for a little while he was just sitting calmly in my hands. I've seen them a bunch of times. If i go out early in the day, sometimes one is sticking their head out of the crack in the steps or out basking. A few weeks ago we found a five foot snake skin in our front yard, so there's probably a big rat snake or something out there somewhere.
Anyway... SNAKES ARE REALLY FREAKING COOL.
