My No-Legged Babies!

So here we go folks.  As promised I am posting the pictures of my four snakes.

This is my big baby.  She is about 2 years old and a little over 3 feet long (I know I chopper her head off in this pic).  We call her Emma (we think she is female).  She is the most even tempered snake I have met.  I am comfortable letting small kids handle her as long as I am there to supervise.  I even use her as a Halloween prop, letting her coil around my hand and arm as I hand out candy.  She is my second snake and has been wonderful to work with.

 

This bright little fella is one of my newest editions.  He is definitely male and is a lemon pastel genetic morph.  Jazz as we call him, is shy and quite snappy, but it is all a show.  He is a healthy eater and is only about 8 months old.

This tiny guy (who we think is a girl now) is my  first snake.  His name is Bo and he is a Kenyan Sand Boa.  His colors and markings drew me to him immediately.  He is about 18 inches long and loves to be held.

Here you can see my young Kenyan Sand Boa, called Al.  He is a genetic morph called anerythiristic which gives him that beautiful purple-grey and black colors.  He is very snappy and doesn't like to be bothered much, but I love him just the same.  You can see him next to Bo in the picture below.

I keep my pythons in Zilla Critter Cages, found here on Amazon.com RZIL CRITTER CAGE 10GAL BLACK.   I use the 10 gallon for my smaller Ball Python and a 40 gallon one for my large Ball Python.  These cages are great to display your reptile.  The top is a heavy duty screen for plenty of ventilation and you can use any type of heating for your snakes.  I use a small hood with dual lamps, one for daytime light the other for infrared night-time lighting/heat.  I also use shredded coconut for a substrate.  I have had no issue with this setup so far and I highly recommend it for those of you who might want to get into reptiles as a casual hobby or pets.  Obviously because of the size of the cages, they are not the best for breeders or folks who have large collections of reptiles, but for me it works.  Below you can see my 40 gallon setup for Emma, the larger Ball Python.

Here are is a couple more pictures of my babies!!  Enjoy!
