[SSSSnakes]

Hi. I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I've been performing educational snake shows for over 30 years. I keep Boas, Python, colubrids and venomous. I have been biten 3 times in thoose 30 years. I consider a bite a handlers mistake and not a badge of honor. I also run a snake rescue, were we taken in unwanted snakes and find them a forever home. I have 3 different licenses from the DEC to keep all kinds of snakes. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Hi Bryan. I fed your rainbow, corn and king after you left yesterday. This forum is OK, there seem to be a few "know it alls" on here.

[brylecc1989]

Awesome thanks. I agree some people stand strongly by their opinions, but everyone genuinely really loves snakes and there is a lot to be learned here. Gotta take the bad with the good!

[TeaNinja]

My Dumeril is between 6' to 7'. I have not measures him, but he is longer than I am tall.

I am use to it, but I can't stand when people feel that their way is the only way and everyone else is wrong. It sometimes keep people from expressing their thoughts and ideas, because they do not want to be harassed. Forums are meant to share ideas and knowledge, not to harass some one who disagrees with you.

You can point out ANY flaws in what I say and I won't mind as long as its constructive.
If you see flaws in anything I saw, just point them out and CORRECT me, don't say "You're wrong" and leave it at that.

We are human, we can't know everything.

Man, drop it. You are both right.

That's cool. I can wait. BTW hello and welcome!:)

[ladyjustice33]

Wow, love your website. Would love to see a pic of your columbian rainbow since I'm biased towards them....have too little CRB's myself, both babies. Any tips with regard to CRB husbandry is appreciated. I've been reading everything, trying to make sure they have the best life possible. Sure I'm making a few mistakes along the way, my smaller one regurgitated today, third feeding, no previous problems, think I may have over fed. Anyway, I'm a first time snake owner, but my husband and I have been relocating wild snakes out of my yard (and friends and families) for years. Love the pics on your site. I recently did a photo shoot for a friend of his snakes. I'll post some on here, but not my best work since I am kinda rusty right now!!

Mine is a juvenile. When I first got him I had to put the fuzzie in his mouth to get him to eat. Now he is a eating machine. I keep him in a Rubbermaid style container. I have a snake room that is heated and humidified. He eats well and sheds perfectly.

Yellow Anaconda He is a sweetheart as long as you do not try to restrain him.

And last but not least the Blood Python. He is about 6 to 7 feet and did not like his picture taken. He made a side strike 3' out and 2' high to try and bite my face and the camera. Luckily I was just out of range. All I saw was a mouth full of teeth coming at me.

hello and welcome, what morphs of BP's do you have?

[SSSSnakes]

hello and welcome, what morphs of BP's do you have?

I have normal BP's. I'm not a fan of BP morphs. I like snakes the way they were originally designed. That's just me though.

[shaunyboy]

hello and welcome

great collection you got there

you need to get more carpets :yes:

cheers shaun

[Lankyrob]

Really really disappointed that you didnt get a pic of the blood striking at the camera!! ;)

Beautifuls snakes you got there - thanks for sharing!

Same here, I can't stand albino snakes.

[stephanbakir]

Great pics, shame the retic is the angry one :(

The Retic is nice compared to my Rock Python.

[SSSSnakes]

I do have a few albino snakes, but they were all rescues. I prefer the natural normal coloration on snakes.

[infernalis]

Super collection you have there.. Thanks for sharing.

[marvelfreak]

Thanks for the pictures. You have some amazing snakes. How old and how big are your Yellows Anacondas? I have a one year old male. I hoping to get a couple Bloods myself in October. Also love to see some pics of your other snakes to when you get a chance. We're picture junkies around here. lol

Both of my anacondas I got as adults, so I don't know their ages. They are both approximately 8 to 9 feet. One is sweet as long as you do not restrain him and the other is very aggressive. Have I mentioned I love aggressive snakes.
