I noticed about a week ago that Simon had these odd looking scales that run 3/4 of his length on both sides. He shed maybe a month ago or so and it was a perfect shed! If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks!

1:30 a.m. the tones sounded and off we went. The pumper arrived just ahead of us only to radio "structure is fully involved". Fortunately no one was home at the time but we lost the entire house. It took two stations and 9 hours before it was over.

Okay I finally worked up the balls to ask what DUW means...Please tell me it's something very in depth and complicated that can only be explained but a great philosopher! Or just tell me the simple truth and let me bask in my stupidity!;)

Our little nameless guy had his first shed with us and it was perfect! I had misted him and his tank only a few minutes before he started rubbing! Sorry about the flash but the lighting in our house gives everything a horrible orange wash:( After he finished shedding I thawed two...

This is the second time that he ate from my hand! The first time, I didn't want to disturb him so i didn't take any pics but I got him this time... Down the hatch!!!: He hasn't gained weight since his last feeding so if he's still the same by next feeding I'm thinking of bumping him up a...

So I've had this little guy/girl since before Christmas and for the first time ever I can't think of a name that suits him/her...any suggestions? :cool:

Simon was out trolling around and posed for a few nice pictures. I like this one, it looks sort of haunting... Hope you enjoyed.

"you commin' or what?!" We went out onto the bay, it's funny though because he knows there's water here somewhere! He'll only run half the normal distance before stopping, it kinda freaks him out!"where is the water?" This is my favorite picture of all them!

So here's another question for you TBS owners. Can I use the Munson plan for my baby beauty, as a guideline. Is there a need for more frequent or larger feedings as I've read they have faster metabolism then corns? He's successfully had two, single pinky, feedings and at last weigh in was 21g. I...

I just had to show off some more pics of my wonderful little snake! He weighed in at a whopping 21g. He's sniffing out a pinky I left in there for him. I think he ate it, I'm gonna wait a couple days to check so I don't disturb him! You'll note the addition of some vines!He loves...

About half an hour after a MASSIVE, button popping turkey dinner at the in-laws, while I was digesting on the couch, my pager went off... Sorry I got these pics mixed up, but this was the aftermath We had to return twice the next day for flare ups. A seen from the highway. We fought this...

Just some new years day pics of my sister in-laws boa and blood python. Her and her husband have been bitten by snake bug just recently and are up to I think six snakes now!I kinda forgot to get pics of the balls the have but there's one beautiful spider I'll have to get later. She has some...

I was changing all the snakes water and while I was doing the yet unnamed beauties, I lifted up his hot hide to remove a pinky I had left in there before. IT WAS GONE!!! Now unless he/she is just toting it around for a binky, it's gone down the hatch!!! Thanks again for everybodies support and...

So I've had the little bugger for exactly a week now and after leaving a pinky in his tank for 24hrs I took him out to see if he'd try a fresh one and still nothing. I'm starting to get worried, I know they have a little quicker metabolism and I don't want to loose this snake!!I've been...

So yesterday, his third day with us, I tried feeding my new baby beauty a pinky and he out right refused. I tried everything I could think of but he wasn't even close to interested. Should I just leave him be for a few days then try again? He hasn't eaten in maybe five days or so. The lady I got...
