Description
Renny and I again, this one shows her length better. She actually has about 4 ft of body behind my back that you can't see. She's a big'n
15 ft or so. I haven't measured her myself but I'd say that is accurate. Sorry these pics suck, I PROMISE once it is nice outside I'll start getting some better pics again

Cool snake i would be afraid to own a snake that big. I would worry about it constricting and swallowing me

Lol, this snake couldn't eat a human. She could kill ya though! That's why you should never handle large snakes alone

lol, yes she was big. She got way thicker after being in my care for a while. This pic was when I first got her.
and yea, always have to make sure the furry animals are in a separate room when handling the big guys. Don't want any accidents

haha. I had snakes all through my life living with my parents, they were uneasy at first but now my mom actually has her own snake! Complete turn around. She wants to breed them too
I'm moved out now though so I can get as many as I can fit in my bedroom, which is around 70 animals at this point. I won't have that many until I start having lots of babies though

Yep. It's just ignorance really. Once people learn a bit they usually turn around.

Woah. She's big. Will she get bigger? I heard that they can grow up to 30 feet!

She should get bigger, I no longer have her though, sold her to a guy who lives not far from here

Oh I'm sorry to hear about that. I would cry if my snake got taken away...if I had a snake! I really want one. One time I was on a school trip and I got to hold this little adorable snake and he wrapped around my fingers and then stared at me with his big black shiny eyes! I almost fainted from too much cuteness.

Which one is your favourite? Did you name them all?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, hard to say. Yep I name all of them. I'm sure some I've had weren't named (had them too short of a time) but the ones I keep are named

Love them. She is so healthy looking, her markings are great.
I hate the reputation they've been given. In my opinion, as long as any species is socialized from a very young age on a regular basis, you have nothing to worry about.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, you do need to take more pictures. No rush though.
I'm not planning on getting one right this second, but it is in the back of my mind. Do they requie a lot of climbing space, or are they fairly inactive? I know most large species are calmer as adults, I just need a good idea of how big an enclosure should be.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are pretty inactive, although there are exceptions. As young they like to climb but they are a terrestrial specie. A sufficient size cage for an adult is 6x3' and approx. 18" tall. Some prefer more height, some don't. You can get nice professional cages this size shipped to you, or you could build your own whatever size you want

Thanks!! Building my own would be fun ;D I get a building itch every so often.

I love building stuff
I just brought home another snake... So stick around, I should be uploading pics soon!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yesh ^___^ And, it being custom built makes it that much more special, because you can have it however you want it without having the trouble of buying something that is okay but you can see how it could be better.
I might take that approach as our turtles get older.
Speaking of turtles, I know that every reptile shreds differently, but we've had them since the summer of last year, and I have seen the occasional tiny bit of shedding, like a few pieces, but no real big shed. Is that supposed to be normal? The assumed female is the only one who sheds a little and grows, and the assumed male just doesn't show any sign of it at all.
Yay about the piccies, I'm excited

Turtles and lizards don't usually shed their entire body skin at the same time, so I wouldn't be too worried... But, I'm also rusty on turtles and lizards so you might want to get an "expert" opinion on that one

I definitely will, thanks.
