Hola! Thought I'd share another hobby of mine and that would be...*points to the title* :) I've been working with snakes, or rather keeping snakes, since I was at least ten. My interest in reptiles was actually when I was around six or seven. My first reptile were lizards called Anoles, or rather the "American Chamelion".

They are the lizards that change color; brown or green and are only about three-five inches long from head to tail. So people often refer to them as "Chamelions", even though they aren't true chamelions. Example of a true chamelion would be a Panther Chamelion. :lol:

So to followup on a more 'normal' picture of myself (see Halloween thread) and my little reptialian friends, please, enjoy the pictures. Any questions, feel free to ask. :)

An overview of my setup for my snakes. I keep two Ball Pythons - male and female and one male Northern Pine snake

Pine snake- "Here's looking at you!" He's getting ready to shed.

Here's an older shot of my male - Zero - Ball Python

And his mate - Stich

Enjoy the photos. Hope everyone enjoys them. I do also have a few more pictures of them, if anyone is interested in seeing more. :)

Best wish everyone

The sadness drains through me rather than skating over my skin. It travels through every cell to reach the ground. I filter it yet strangely enough, I keep what was pure and it is the dirt that leaves.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to their DOB's, so I don't know for sure what year they were born. I can only make an estimate. Zero, I acquired when he was a juvenile. He was only 2 feet long. Average length for a Ball is 3.5-5 ft. And I've had him for 5 years, since 2000, Feb. Well almost 5 yrs, :). So he is around 6-7 yrs old. About every foot, I count it as 1 year old. Stich, well her age is more difficult to gage. When I got her, she was already an adult length; 4 feet. So she could very well be 5-15 years old, lol. But I've had her about 2 years. I adopted both of them.

I will post fresh pictures of the pythons tomorrow, since I need batteries for my digi camera. (figures that would be the case). But I don't think I'll bother Poseidon, the Pine, since he's kinda mad at me for bothering him, lol. When snake is in shed, best not to bother them. It's like playing with fire, LOL!

Thank for the kind words about Stich. :D She does have a gorgious pattern. But she's so dang shy! Unlike her "hubby" who is gregarious - two different personalities. :)
