My Snakes
I've had quite a few people asking me about my Avatar lately and if the Snake on my head is real or not. Simple answer is yes! LOL
The Avatar picture is 4 years old. There is a newer picture of my Boa on my About Me page, taken about a month ago.
I have 2 Snakes, Hades the Boa Constrictor who is about 7 1/2 foot and still growing and the other one is Mr Nibbs, a Royal Python who is fully grown at 5 1/2 foot.
They are both 4 years old and very tame due to being well handled since they were young. The secret of Snake wrangling as we affectionately put it is always be respectful of the animal. Never feel too comfortable when you have them on you and always remember they are unpredictable and can change mood very quickly if something or someone upsets them.
Don't put yourself in a position where you could get hurt or injured. Like with Hades being so big now I always make sure there are 2 of us around if we are getting her out, for her safety as well as our own :o)
They feed about every 2 - 3 weeks and shead their skins about every 6 - 8 weeks (depending on size or damage). As Mr Nibbs is now fully grown his sheading will slow down. Hades on the other hand will continue at that rate for another few years yet.
If anyone has anymore questions, feel free to PM me about it ;o)
