Default sunshine lolipops and...pythons!

okay maybe there were no lolipops, and the sun had almost went down but...there was a python! here is one shot that i am really, really proud of. after 7 months of having my DSLR, i'm FINALLY getting the hang of everything, and finally utilizing all the features of my camera. (well, maybe not all, but most) anyways, i present you arthas, my male spider ball python.

The first is particularly nice with the snake threading through the tree. My son has a ball python named "Monty", named, of course after "Monty Python"

wow, that really sucks bradzo66. i'm really lucky to live where i live, because it's not like we just have 1 snake...we have 23 right now!! it's actually really amazing by how many people are afraid of snakes, or freaked out by them, or think they're creepy. but i must say, most people that come into my house go out with a new love for snakes! it's really cool to be able to help people get over their fear. some of them want to buy one of our hatchlings! snakes = <3
