Eastern Indigo

Some of you have met Ripley.  She is still growing....

So awesome!

Sweet not very common love those things!

Looking good

He's very lovely Don!! Can we schedule a play date with my ratsnake? (I kid, I kid!)

Very Nice! Id like to get one someday

I saw him at the expo in Newport News and was blown away how shiny the scales are. He's really handsome and absolutely worth going through the troubles of getting a permit..!

Always a pleasure to see!

Too cool.

In that case, here is another:

Very nice

Guess who ate a live mouse this evening! I'm sooooooo happy!

Congrats! Is this the first time? Looks like you might be retired now LOL.

Yup, first rodent she has eaten for me. I'm waiting to see if she is going to eat another.

See all you had to do was make the commitment to be a breeder. She was just testing how committed an owner you were. Now she will go along with the original plan.

Well, she went nuts tonight and ate FOUR mice. I think moving her up to the living room did the trick. She is very social and stays out looking around quite a bit. She will even come out to look at you when you walk up to her enclosure. These animals are everything they are rumored to be.

Ripley converted recently to f/t  mice.  I was feeding baby balls tonight and had five fuzzy f/t rats left over and her usual four f/t mice.  I decided to put them all in her food bowl and throw away anything she didn't eat.  To my surprise, she ate them ALL!  She is a pig and getting big.  If she is not in shed,I will bring her to the Richmond Expo.

I got to hold her at the hampton roads expo!  Please contain your jealousy! It is so un-becoming of you all.

Wow.... Amazing, love those snakes! How old is she now?

She is a little over a year old now. She is now growing FAST! Since she has converted over to f/t rodents she is a pig. Last feeding this week, she ate ten rat fuzzies. I wasn't planning on feeding her that much. They were left over from f/t feeding my ball python babies. I figured she would eat three or four and I'd throw out the rest. Instead, she ate them all and was looking for more.

Nothing wrong with a snake that loves to eat!
