Meet "Rufus"

It's always a nice gesture when you give someone a hug .... as long as afterwards you don't swallow them!

I used to have a really Biiiiiiiiiiiiig Aunt, that would hug us and kiss us whenever we would visit, and I remember fearing for my life on those occasions.

HaHa! I think we all had a relative growing up that did this! At some point during the hug I would try and take a breath and hope no one saw me turning blue. (No, I wasn't about to shed) I also had an uncle who enjoyed shaking my hand just to see if I had any bones in there that were still not broken.

Ken, you're so funny, and what you say is absolutely true!

Sheeesh.... can't a guy get a little privacy when he's bathing?

You've raised your boy well, Karl. Kind, loving, fun to hang out with, and good hygiene.

Nice photo! But since he's hanging out in his water bowl I guess you'll have to build him a nice pool in the back yard!
(Seems like a good excuse for a pool)

This morning Rufus posed for a few pictures (He's such a camera hog)

And we've all heard of Overhand Knots, Granny Knots, Square Knots, and Fisherman's Knots, but in these 2 pictures Rufus shows expert skill in the "Corn Knot" which is known by most Constrictors as a method of holding onto their owners so as not to let them get away.

Those are worth a Corn Scout badge!
