Cool pics...I love how you feed them while holding them. I can't, and wouldn't...do that with any of my constrictors. But it looks so cool with the garters. :)

very wise words.. I never hold food for my python or lizards, it would get ugly quick if I did.

[TeaNinja]

lol, my snakes would probably bite the hell out of me also. i have the 2 dumerils and the BP who all eat very well.
