Meet the latest addition to my ever-growing zoo: a Super Tiger Reticulated Python. While at the San Mateo Pet Expo, I had the chance to meet and talk snakes with Jean Bolinger and B.K. Baker, the folks behind The Creature Company - a SoCal-based reptile breeder that specializ
es in snakes.After handling a handful of different boas & pythons, I ended up purchasing TWO snakes, one for my brother as an 18th birthday present, and the other for myself. Snakes are amazing creatures and must always be handled with prudence and respect.
This guy just had his first meal since his homecoming a couple days ago. What an experience that was! Definitely not for the faint of heart. :(
As you can see from the photos, my brother's snake looks quite different from mine. That's because he has a Pa
stel Red Tail Boa, one with exceptional coloring. It's hard to tell from the pic, but that snake has salmon pink coloring along its sides, jaw, and head, something that will intensify as it ages.At the moment, my guy is going name-less. After coming up with a few names (and struggling to decide on one), I decided to leave it in your hands. Thanks for voting! I'll let you know the results....

Ohhhh Steph! You're too funny. For some reason I've always liked the name Waldo for a snake but voted for Monty the Python. Love the blogs too! And subscribed to your newsletter. Keep up the great work girl. We're sooooo proud that you share so much of your talents with us!
