Here we go.
This is Anthony, the ball python.
And yes, he is curled around a giant My Little Pony. He's nearly four feet long, which is pretty much as big as he's getting. It's hard to get a photo of him uncurled though, they're called ball pythons for a reason, and he doesn't like to un-ball himself. His actual gender is uncertain, but as I have no plans to breed little baby balls it's also irrelevant. He's named Anthony after the husband of Cleopatra, who was said to have worn a small ball python around her wrist as a decoration. (See second photo. ) He is dumb as a rock, but very good with people.
This is Badger. The upper pic is him now, the lower is when I first got him. Badger is a corn snake. He's the "normal" morph, rather than the various mutations that are absurdly popular in the pet trade, but I don't mind that, he's really pretty. He is also good with people, but unlike Anthony he never holds still, he's always trying to get into things. He's named badger because he likes to burrow, and because his face markings are a bit like badger stripes. And because badger, badger, badger, badger snaaaaaaaaaaake, snake, woah it's a snaaaaake.
And here's Gertrude. She is a pacific gopher snake. The upper pic is the day I caught her while camping last year. The lower is her in the travel tub this afternoon when I'd packed her up to go release her back into the wild. She's now been returned to her habitat, where hopefully she'll live out a long and happy life.
