I know i'm not on much, it has its reason that don't really want to get into right now. Anyway, thought i'd just upload some videos of my all my snakes! (ill upload rest in a bit)... I know the videos are far from perfect, the colour balance is all over the place and doesn't do any of them justice.. But enough excuses, i hope you still enjoy them!


My lovely boy Zuko, who as you can see loves to move around, i've never had him sit still for more than 2 seconds. He's not aggressive or anything, though getting him out of his enclosure isn't the easiest thing because his feeding response is off the charts. (tap training works well with him though, he's just a typical retic) He's doing great and eats/sheds/everything else like a champion. He's still growing rapidly lengthwise, he has grown a bit girth-wise but he's still very slender.. he's an easy 8,5 -9ft, but you can't really see that in this video.. I'm about 5,5", i cant fully lift him off the ground if he stretches. :)

Here's my 'lill guy Hiro! Slowly growing up! I can barely believe he is 14,5 months already with this size, gotta love superdwarves! He's a typical retic in most of his behaviours, just a bit nervous when you touch him, calms down when you hold him. Flies out of his enclosure when he thinks there's anything even remotely food related nearby.

Then we have Kira, such a curious snake.. Not much to update about him, he does what he does, be amazing. He shed in one piece not too long ago, and he likes to dig so he has a lot of bedding. Love this guy so much! As you can see he is very calm all the time, even at first approach!

And then there's Xena, i had to take her out to clean up.. Couldn't film that because she goes mental every time her tank opens, and bites at everything that moves (and some things that don't move) Takes me a few minutes to get her calm enough to grab her. Just made a quick video of putting her back in her enclosure, she was still a bit annoyed with me, didn't want to push it. I know the floor is dirty, i was cleaning terrariums.. it happens!

Loving Xena like usual! Zuko is turning out quite handsomely too. :) I should try to get a video of River sometime, she's grown so much.

This is an odd reply to this topic, this topic is to update about my reticulated pythons, not about whether or not they're rescues.. Not that it is actually any of your business, but i volunteer at a reptile zoo and very regularly have rescues staying in my house that need more personal attention. (Currently just 1) But i mostly keep it to myself. Looking at your latest comments, you have lately been enjoying shoving people in their faces that they shouldn't breed any more and rescue snakes in stead.. I'm glad you care about rescues, i really am. But this way you're just going to anger people, i advise you think twice about the way you put your replies in the future.

Also, just a little thing that's bothering me, you should know that rescues aren't readily available in every country. The rescues we get are usually very sick ones, and are 99% bearded dragons/cornsnakes/ballpythons.. None of these species interest me enough to keep them around after they're healthy.. We don't have petco's or anything, so the market is completely run by private sale and if anyone offers a re-homer people usually trip over each other to get it... So.. No need to advertise rescues here..

Don't reply to my topics unless you're actually replying to the topic subject, as you clearly just judge people you do not know a thing about.

Beautiful snakes. I just wish Mrs Danny loved them as much as me and would entertain a giant! I will content myself watching the videos and looking at the photos on here!

And sorry if I'm not meant to pick a favourite but I'd adopt Kira in a heartbeat. Simply stunning.
