Thanks Dave! I'll get some of them shipped over to you right after the new year. I wasn't sure about posting that pic of me...thought my ugly mug would upset the balance on the forum.

Fantastic pics Dave. Thanks for posting those.

Thanks! The food bill isn't too bad at this point. I buy in bulk to save and most of my snakes are juveniles so they're eating smaller meals.

Thank you. Those indigos are awesome for sure. The cal king is finally handleable without musking or biting.

I've said that more times than I'd like to admit. I'm sure I'll be saying it a few more times as well.

That black rat sure is tough and full of fire. He always like that, but it comes with being little and thinking everything will eat you.

Wonderful collection, Dave. Definitely envious of the drys.

You ship them over mate and I'll toss the young fella out on the streets and use his room to house them

, he's 16 now so he'll do OK on his own

. And I think it's brilliant you posted that pic of yourself Dave like I said puts a face to the name. And as for beening ugly my mate, you have seen the pics of me on here right?. My own wife even calls me the Irish hobbit

Haha! Sounds like you should toss her out with the boy. Then, you'll have even more extra space.

I would if I thought I could take her in a fair fight

. I used to do mma I taught her every dirty trick I knew, unfortunately she's better at them than I am now so I'm not chancing my arm

Here are the rest of the pics completing my collection update. Pics of Timber are in enclosure only because it was too risky to take pics in holding tub with lid off. Also included of pic of my valid PA Timber Rattlesnake permit to prove I am legally possessing it.

Black Ratsnake - sub adult

Thanks Martin. The Timber is one of my favorites. I like the dark color better than the yellow color timbers. He's a mean sucker though and full of fight. He's super hard to hook transfer so I use a set of tongs and a hook.

dave himself · 12-29-16, 07:44 PM

Oh by the way Dave I forgot to mention you can keep the rattlesnake's, I've enough trouble with the 2 in the shop every Saturday, the rest of your stunning snakes can have a one way ticket to Ireland

The attitude of those beauty snakes is so pretty

Hey you! Gimme that hand please! A bit closer now

Funny how your Rattlesnake permit isn't valid without a fishing license...

Nice snakes. Indigo so high on my wishlist... but I'm in Europe, so... :[

Thanks! If you look at pics of them on google you'll see plenty with attitude like mine. She's getting a bit more aggressive now that's she's getting larger and a little older at just over 1year. Once she's out of her enclosure and handled for a minute or 2 she calms down. Can't wait until she's a 10' adult.

All fish, reptiles and amphibians in PA are regulated by the PA Fish & Boat Commission. So that's why they require a fishing license because there is a dedicated season for venomous snakes. Once you legally possess one then you have to keep a valid fishing license yearly as long as you have the animal. I think it's just another way to keep money coming in with license fees. Lucky I don't have to renew the Rattlesnake permit yearly.

Those indigos are pretty sweet. I'm looking forward to them growing larger. I like all the drymarchons as well and should be adding a new one to my collection shortly.

Your collection is supremely bad**s Dave! That timber rattler is the truth!
