Yeah i am a Marvel comic book freak. I have tons of action figures. Use to have five times has many but started selling some of them off to up grade cages a couple months back.
Man Chuck, she is a monster!!! She is gorgeous!! What's her temperament like?
She is the mellowest snake. In the 10 years i had her she only bitten once. My oldest son open her cage really fast and grab her to pull her out and she nail him. She had been asleep and he spooked her. She is the only snake i can reach into her cage and pick her up while she eating and not even get a hiss.

Thanks guys. On a side note i was ask once last year when i first got my Jungle x Jag if i would breed him to her? My answer was never. She has always been nothing more than a a pet to me. Even thought i was told i could still breed her at her age i would never do it. The way i see it she gone this long and never been breed way in hell would i put her poor body threw the stress of it now at her age. I respect her to much to do that.

She's a monster. She makes you look like a dainty school girl standing next to an average-sized Jungle.

Are you gut loading her prey with this?

Nope just larger and ex large rats. As a matter of fact she goes 5 months every winter without eating at all. An yet she still a monster. she hasn't grown more than a couple inches over the last three years, but as double her weight. I just looked back at her records and she pretty much done growing i would say as she only shed 7 time in the last two years.
She just a nice big health adult what more could i ask for? :)

So i had her out today for some out doors pictures. I got the chance to measure her and she is 8'11". I was shocked i can believe she just shy of 9 feet. She grown another 6 inch in the last 8 months. What make that so shocking is she didn't eat for 5 of those months. She did shed twice in that time. I will get the pictures down loaded and posted tomorrow.

As promised some outside pictures. I still can believe she 8'11".

Well she is the Queen of My Snake Room. I am kind of shocked that we never really see many pictures of people with older snakes. Even though her color fade with age i think it's like us getting white hair, just make you more dignified looking. Out of all the sites i am on i think this one and the Aussie site are the only two where you will find more than a handful of member's with snakes in the double digits. Which to me is really sad. :sad:
