i'm glad to see there's some other people out there that have the same 2 hobbies that i do. i've had snakes since i was 4 and i still have the 2nd snake i ever got. the first tried squeezing into a tight spot that he couldn't fit into and crushed his jaw doing it. it was a normal corn snake.
i got my ball python (2nd snake) when i was 4 years old. he is getting on in years and doesn't eat live prey anymore because he is losing his sight and i think he's arthritic. the live rats were starting to be able to escape his grasp or at least move around enough to bite him. he is a normal ball python, but he has an almost perfect "8" shape and an almost perfect "G". if hyperion ever releases a G8 line of batteries, i will be sure to get one.
i also have:
2 suriname red-tail boa
1 guyana red-tail boa
2 california king snakes (black and white striped)
i would get some pictures of them, but i just fed them today and it's not a good idea to handle snakes the same day you feed them.
edit: got some pics of my ball python. not too bad for phone pics. he's having a hard time shedding right now. i need to mist his cage to raise the humidity.
