Noddles with heads(my snakes)

[Tgotty90]

I've been spending a little more time with my snakes lately, getting a few of my corn snakes ready to breed and realized I've never posted much about them, so i just wanted to take a little time and share my collection on this thread. Nothing extreme, mostly ball pythons and corn snakes with a few exceptions.

First up is my big girl Kae, she's just a normal ball python but one of our first, she's about 14 years old now

Next up we have Jasper, he's about a 4 year old male albino lavender ball python, hoping to pair him with a few of our females this spring.

Then we have this little beauty, she's a baby enchi lesser ball python we recently picked up at the show. No name yet, any ideas???

This next one is Maggie, she's a 10 year old pastel ball and our first ball python we got 10 years ago, love this girl.

And cinnabun our female cinnamon ball python.

Moving on from the ball pythons, next is my baby dumerils boa I just picked up recently, This is Dorris.

This next one is our oldest and most unique, Herman our 15 year old cali king hybrid.

Tex the texas rat snake.

And here is Ester our albino reverse okeetee corn snake, such a beautiful snake.

Our young male corn Flame.

And last but not least our male albino red corn Jerald, he's getting ready to go with our female Ester, hoping for some beautiful new babies from them this spring.

That's it for now atleast, if anyone else has pics of their non-legged friends, feel free to post em here, I'd love to see em as well.

You have some lovely snakes. There don't seem to be many Dumerils around these days but I love that flower pattern along their backs.

Thanks,Herman is a true colubrid mutt lol his momma was a cali king and pops was a corn/milk hybrid that hooked up by mistake. The shop we got him from had tried to feed the mix to the king for whatever reason but instead they did the deed they ended up with 7 babies that survived out of the clutch and sold them for $20 each so I picked one up and still have him, best 20 I ever spent. We actually still get asked about him when we get the chance to stop in that store, as fare as they know he's the only one left.

Thanks Enn, they are awesome animals. I've wanted one for years and your absolutely right about not seeing many of them anymore, I go to a reptile show atleast 6 times a year and just now found one, and was lucky enough to find a female at that.

King snakes have a gut that can cope with digesting another snake unlike most snakes that may swallow a snake but will normally regurgitate it. Many Corn snake breeders kept a King to feed any deformed babies to. This is also why you don't leave 2 Kings together for breeding but sit and watch them just in case, a bit like watching paint dry

A very lucky find. I'll look forward to lots of photos of her as she grows.

Where do you get your corn snakes if I might ask?

Thanks for the info @Enn49 -I know the cali's have a reputation for being cannibalistic -its interesting to hear about the mix parentage of herman ,as often as you know cali x corns are common place jungle corns? as they are known,a friend of mine breeds them,
as for the boa-you are lucky indeed ,just a shame some boas end up unwanted as they grow I'm sure @Enn49 has had some lovely ones -she know her stuff when it comes to snakes

They were all purchased at reptile shows over the years.

Enn sure dose know a lot about snakes, she actually helped me pinpoint what my reverse okeetee actually was, I thought it was something else and she informed me it was something totally different. She knows her snakes just as well as her Ts, helpful in all categories.

Tell that to any Drymarchon...

Are there any Drymarchon available across the pond? I can't recall seeing any at Hamm a couple of years ago, but I wasn't really looking either.

They are so different than other snakes. I love them.

There were certainly some around in the UK a few years back.

Up this morning doing some maintenance with my snakes so figured I'd snap a few pics to update this thread.
Kae thinks she's a tree boa

more balls

Jerald just shed this morning and is looking great

My baby dumerils boa is put on some decent size since February when i got her. Not bad for a slower growing species.

 

[Enn49]

A lovely bunch

Gorgeous collection of snakes you have there

 

[menavodi]

You took some great pictures there!

I'm not a huge snake person, I mean it's cool and all, but after my ex wife brought a tai pan, and a king cobra home... Yeah, no wonder I'm divorced.
