Back from the vets with the little baby number 34 who needs an operation or putting down. I figured I didn't plan to have the litter so the money I'm making on them was a bonus, might as well use that money to pay for the little guys operation, he needs to have his eye removed. |

Sorry to here about little Aldo kelf but it's nice to here about someone putting the needs of the snake ahead of the cost, cause I'm sure there are plenty out there that would have had him put to sleep good on ya |

Haha yeah she's lost alot of weight now she looks tiny, I feed her tonight so hopefully can built her weight up a little again.
Males are much smaller and pandora is a big girl anyway she's over 7ft.
It's more technique than muscle to be honest i've seen skinny girls handle snakes far easier than me and I wonder how lol. Never good to start with a monster though like I did thats why I make it look so hard lol im still learning, start with a baby and develope technique |

I think 6ft sounds average for a male, i'll double check that for you though and get back to you. They're far skinnier than a female though |

Yeah I think that has a lot to do with it.
Weird mental block I can't pass, I get bit tons by all the snakes but it still makes me wary when they hiss hehe |

Ha - it's all down to confidence eh?
Decades ago when I bred Siamese cats, some friends of mine had a zillion cats, including a totally evil lilac point. That cat was a killer. I was warned never to touch her. Sitting in the kitchen chatting one day, one of their lilac points climbed into my arms and I automatically fussed and fondled it while going on with the conversation ... presently they gasped. 'OMG! That's Kali!!' (I think her name was - something suitably sinister.) Once Kali's cover was blown, she growled and stalked off - but the point was, since I hadn't realised it was her, I hadn't been wary, and ...well, I'd cuddled her and no bloodshed ...
Congrats, Victoria! |

I think laws has conceded defeat and bought a dwarf boa so you're clear on 21 for the moment :)
I think stella, bacard, black velveti or tequila for a girl
Guiness, john smith or scrumpy for a boy lol |

Horatio Nelson!
(Didn't he hang out all round the Havant area when he wasn't off fighting battles? Or at least that's what I learned at school, long ago when I were a lass and all this round here were fields ...)

Oh, glad the other little one's ok - yes, of course, heat pits do help with feeding and corns don't have any either of course - I was a bit sceptical about Cy's supplier saying that she was a poor feeder due to her one-eyed state, but I think they were right. However, for some reaosn, she's adapted - and now I scarcely even have to say 'mouse' before she's there and ready for it - after a slow and frustrating start, she's now a little tiger, so don't be too dismayed if your lad takes his time; he'll adapt.
Considering his place of birth, you'll have to call him Horatio ... |

Aww poor wee man! good on you though, your a good snakey daddy!
I've noticed that boas are very much more visual than pythons, boris is always watching and reacts to movement much more than florence. |
