xD Yep. Xena will act like she's going, then pause, then turn right around and up my arm again. However Ekans usually knows whatsup.

As far as being nippy, I hear that the more you handle them the better they get about that. kwhitlock just about had it.

I dunno, Xena wasn't too bad, but she'd get a little moody. After consistent handling for about a week I already saw a difference in her temperament.

Turbine's not horrible, i mean im sure there's worse out there. but she is a texas rat snake, and i walked into this knowing the temperament of those snakes were nippy.
The guys at the pet store actually tried to convince me to not get her and to get a cheaper one that was a snow corn, i think. but i love the fact shes pure white, with blue eyes.
Wouldn't trade her bratty butt for anything.

That sounds pretty. <3
Post those pics if you can!
Snow corns are cuties, but I like the size of a rat snake a bit better.

thats my snakes facebook page. i suck at taking her picture because she's white, so when it flashes, most of the time she shows up as a long slender white blob.

though there are a couple of her on it. feel free to like the page and check them out =D
