So after getting a bit more closure on Ophion (thank you for your posts), I thought I'd get some piccies of my other snakes which also bring me a lot of joy.
Especially Bats :D Bats is just.. special. He's so great and never fails to make me or my other half laugh when we check on him. Today he was poking out of his hide when I went in, and instead of going back in he stayed out for a stroke and then started to climb up my arm! This is the snake that couldn't be handled and thrashed around wildly when I first brought him home!
My kitten Pipistrelle loves Bats and Bats has never shown stress towards Pipi so I let them meet :) Here's some shots of one such meeting..
"Who's that on my house?"
Little Nebula, my hypo lav from Procorns is doing just GREAT! It's lovely to have a little bootlace but she's growing pretty fast! She's currently in blue at the moment so soon to have her first shed with us  Not taking ANY risks with this one escaping. She is in a RUB inside a viv lol. Just a little snapshot of her through the tub cos she's very flighty and even more so as she can't see properly at the moment.
Last but not least, a lovely pic of lovely Clementine. She came downstairs for a cuddle today and settled on Ben's lap wrapped through one of his belt loops lol. Here she is posing.
Thanks for looking  |

Thank you all for looking and commenting I'm so proud of all my snakes as I bet you lot are of yours. There's something very endearing about reptiles as a whole I think. They make such great companions!
Kellog, Nebula shed last night! She had her food and then I went back to find she'd shed through one of her snake tunnels lol. I'll give her a few days to digest, and then I'm planning on doing a decent photoshoot of her. She's such a sweet little pink bootlace. She needed a little bit of help with a "hat" part, but a good first shed from her which is great. |

Think everyone has covered what I'd say Jennifer  ! I'm glad Bats is so special to you, especially now you have lost Ophion. Every time you feel that you are missing her, just get out Bats....he can be your 'snake therapy' .
I can't wait to see more pics of Nebula, once she's shed. I'm sure you'll work your magic on her to calm her down, just as you did with Bats  .
As for Clementine....what a gorgeous pic of a gorgeous snake! I love the way you can see her head marking, saddles, belly, everything....she couldn't have posed better  !

He's not a Coon, he is a British Shorthair. One of my friends has got an 11kg+ tabby coon though; he's massive!
And there needs to be more Morris programs on, although you probably couldn't get away with that sorta thing now... |

Yeah, Alabaster Codify is from a Chris Morris program Clementine Sparks is just a combination of her name with her previous owner which was Sparky, and the name I'd have given her from the start.
Yeah our Coon's fairly big but still within the normal range for a female Coon. From what I've heard about her littermates she's one of the heavier girls, but she was the most "on type", and also we've fed her a completely raw diet since we've had her (not to mention as much as she will eat of it!) Her sister from the previous year was 7.1kg at 11 months when we met her, so it'd be nice if our girl got to that as well
Where's your Coon from? |

Nice snakes! What are they named after? Esp Alabaster Codify, and Clementine Sparks (thinking late 90's satire...).
And 5.1kg for a 7 months kitten? Maine Coon? My Tabby 'n' white is 4.8kg at 4 years old! |

Thanks for the comments, guys. I really do love my snakes I was surprised how much joy they give me!
That little kitten her first check up at the vets with me today in preparation for her spay, and the little heifer weighed in at 5.1kg at 7 months old! She eats me out of house and home
There may well be a link between snakes and cats! And if your wife would like one then I can put you in touch with some excellent breeders of allergy friendly ones.... You'll be smitten! I'd suggest a rescue, however these particular cats aren't found in rescues a lot (and no I don't mean the hairless ones). |

Is it just me or is there a bit of a correlation between owning snakes and Cats? I know the wife is desperate for us to get a cat, I would love one but they make me sneeze! Great shots. |

Bats is lovely, and I'm so glad he has tamed down so well :D He sure has grown since the last pics I remember of him too :O Can't wait to see how Nebula grows up, and I love her name too. As for Clementine, well she is as gorgeous as ever, I'm so glad she went to you so we get to see pics of such a stunning snake (I would have been sorely tempted to take her if she had been closer lol). I also want your kitten... |
