Oooh, good idea. I should try that with Sheila, my rather ill tempered jungle carpet python. She can be quite a bitch sometimes (there's been several times where she's actually popped her frozen thawed mouse and gotten guts and whatnot in the inside of the feeding tub, eww)...but man, is she lovely.
This is Severus, my anerythristic boa constrictor imperator. True to his name, he bite me good at the reptile show, but I still took him home anyways. He's now a big softie. :mrgreen: I need to get some more pics of him though.
Tim, actually many snakes are very nice pets for the most part. A corn snake is the best to start out with (ball pythons are boring, annoying in their feeding habits, and overrated...IMHO) and they have so many neat color morphs. Some snakes have very strict humidity and temperature requirements that require a lot of monitoring (like green tree pythons), but there's quite a few boids and colubrids which aren't bad at all.
