I just realized I haven't been on here in almost five years. Wow. I got out of snake keeping a few years ago, but I just acquired a new pair of sisters from a Tessera clutch. One is visual Tessera, the other not, she just has some kick-ass zig-zags. I may not be on here much, but it's nice to...

Many of you will remember me, many won't. I haven't been around for months or more. I've reduced my collection to less than 20 snakes and am still cutting back. I may only keep one or two in the end. I've been through some emotional issues and took a step back. I've also engaged in a new career...

We came home this afternoon from an outing to Port Townsend (a really neat artsy town on the Olympic Peninsula) and my husband shouts, "There's a snake on the porch!" Ok, in Washington, there aren't many times you'll ever find a snake on your porch. It's not like Florida, lol. I run up the steps...

This is Lady Sundance von Alchemy, an F2 Corn/Nelson's milk. I have two other sisters from this clutch (both normals) and two older sisters (a completely different looking amel and an anery). I'll try to get new pics of the whole group soon.

...at Slitherhood of Gaia. I put my SPC male, Baron, in with my supercorn girl, Amazon, this afternoon and they went right to it. As much as I hate math I'm getting rather good at percentages, lol. The babies will be 12.5% Pueblan milk/18.75% Cali king/68.75% corn. I know for sure Baron is het...

My friend posted this on his Facebook and I had to share here, for those who should know better, but don't care to write correctly. I'm not picking on anyone with real reasons for bad grammar. This is only for those who think chatspeek is ok, or who can't take the time to edit what they've...

I found this pic of our late cat, Violet, aka Derp, and our pup, Sebastian. Violet loved the dogs.

I haven't gotten any new snakes in over a year, since I've been cutting back. I'm still looking to get rid of a few more corns, but I am still focused on my hybrids. So I decided to purchase two '11 female black rat/cali kings 66% het white sided and amel from Mesozoic Reptiles to go with the...

Just saw some in the Brother's Grimm, at the beginning when they are banishing the witch in the barn. The "dead" witch falls to the ground and as they are smashing it, there was a group of corns writhing among the fabric. I love finding corns in movies.

This is how I dressed to hand out candy. Kids thought the snake was real. It was too cold to bring out any real snakes, but next year I think I'll be inside with snakes, looking out through the window. I did that before and it was a hit.

Nothing!! I'm so proud of myself. I picked up some frozen mice, but I didn't get a single animal. I actually dropped off two snakes to their new owner (although one is going to someone else). It was more packed this year than in previous years and I saw many animals going home, plus supplies. I...

Because you might shoot yourself instead.... http://www.newsoxy.com/odd/man-shoots-at-snake-30321.html

Looking back, remembering with pain those who died, hoping that it will never happen again, I stop to think where I was when I heard about the tragedy. I had just moved back into my condo after my mother died in April '01. I was sleeping on the futon in the living room when the phone rang. My...

OMG, beware, now the teeny-bopper fans will want boas for pets, now. >rolls eyes<

I have decided not to use these in my hybrid projects so they are up for grabs. Male is snow, female is amel. They love hoppers. For a Fed Ex shipping quote, just ask. No minors, please.
