No no....stop...we're not obsessed! I don't know what kind these are though. Well the one looks like a garter snake ..lol
Obviously the ones that are alive are the only ones i could fit into a ball...hehehe The two hognoses were fussy, but the sand boa seemed to actually like it lol

*lmao* i thought you were joking at first, millertime. that's awesome. it Must BE millertime hehehe
actually rum and coke sound pretty good since i had two days off!!
Needless to say those snakes were only in the ball for as long as it took to snape litterally about 5 pics each. They're spoiled and i'm sure not traumatized much, if anyone is wondering.
I tried to get the corn snake to get into one, but she's too big now! Little fatso. Everyone else is waaay too big for a globe *lol* I TOLD them all if they were the right size though, they'd have gotten some holiday cheer as well. hehe

buwahahaa! you guys are doing great for my ego. I have to say though....i was pretty proud of myself for that michael's find on crafts. The ribbon that kind of has a snakey pattern, and the garland that is round, and hollow, and looks like snakeskin! it was perfect! We totally sat in the floor and spent a couple hours making it all. :)

That is the coolest Christmas tree I have ever seen in my life. Dude I poohed your posts! Keep them coming girl! C:
I like those globes better then snake bags.... Tape them to the bottom of the box and even rough shipping handlers wouldn't able to shake them up much. Cool pictures, love the idea! Probably rather expensive though. Especially when you can do pretty much the same the with a deli cup and its easier to get them in and out lol. Still, that looks cool. Reminds me of Harry Potter lol.

lol it's funny i always get reminded of harry potter at christmas. i think it's because the movies always came out at the end of november, and they always had a christmas scene in the movies, etc.
What's a snake bag?
But a globe would make good shipping. They just slide around in there. Would need def air holes poked through.
And those globes were like...a dollar at michaels! The smaller ones less, the bigger ones about a dollar ten cents, and even cheaper after christmas. Maybe you're on to something Caylan!!
snake bags are cloth bags used to contains snakes sometimes when shipping. But being in a snake bag allows the snake to easily get tossed around or squished(lord forbid) where as a globe they'd be comfortable and you could easily tape it to the bottom of the shipping box. Even a deli cup can get taped, but when the box flips... the snake flips.... in a round container this won't be as traumatizing... Definitely not going to be for everyone, but I may try it! Holes are easy enough with a stove and metal skewer.
Harry potter films do always come out at that time, I totally forgot about that lol. I was talking about the most recent film where Nagini is in an orb. I was so happy to see Nagini was a retic too lol! I want one like her now...

I know, wasn't Nagini cool? I remember in the earlier films she looked like some weird cross snake. The name Nagini has kind of grown on me too.
You totally have to try the globe thing now!

Nagini was wicked this time around, I loved it! I have no idea what she was supposed to be before lol, not a retic at least though! I've started to like nagini too, but it would have to be a giant female normal retic haha, not sure when I can have one of those, at the rate things are going, never...
I wonder if the globes are that cheap at my Michales, I could totally pull it off...

You may have to order the globes/baubles online, since it's not xmas time anymore. They do slide around great in there. I wonder if i can find a huge one to make some of my larger fatties be in one for photo ops hehehe!
I am so cruel!
They'll live!
It's not totally along this topic, but i mentioning nagini made me think of this little video i saw a while ago. "Are you coming in, or going out??" Was my favorite part when this guy pretending to be voldemort talks to nagini.
