I would like to hear about what kind of critters you have pictured here. Lets see you write it as if you were presenting to a group of kids who are looking up to you for your expertise. (you never know, you just might make a difference in one of their lives).

Is that first one a Ball Python? I had one in college. Talk about a great snake. It loved to be handled and never struck anyone.

Well the first snake is a 66% het for albino ball python, what that means is if I breed that with another 66% het for albino ball python I will have a 66% chance the babys will be albino, and albino is a common but highly populer morph. The next snake is a albino okettee phase corn snake they are a type of rat snake close reative to the balck rat snake. After that is the same ball python. And the next is a northern slimy salamander if I do recal I would have to see the top of his back to be sure, I found him under a log on the mountain lake resort land. And the next is a absolutely gorgeous garter(not garden) snake I caught in riverville VA on a boyscout trip. The next is a normal banana kingsnake he was given to my by a friend of mine who breeds them for a living and said it was to mean to sell and if I could sell it I could keep what I got for it(I sold it in a lot for $125). And the one with me standing is the St marys river is a normal old northern water snake, I normally just leave them alone but he was a nice colour and I wanted a close up. And the lizards are bearded dragons, they are a pestel morph, a breeding pair, traded them and there tank for 2 "red tail boas"(colombian boa or boa constrictor) which I sold for $210.

Yes they are vary calm but they have dirty nasty secret they are really bad eaters, they are not used to eating mice/rats and normally eat a relative hampster. Really I hate seeing people that don't know anything about snakes buying them, and pet shops are the problem. Pet shops sell people snakes they can't(even I could not) handle and they can't sell them or give them away because everyone else has the same problem so they let them go. Pet shops ether A tell you it will not get big B tell you it will you the person says "cool man I can have a big snake" or C the pet shop does not know it gets that big, same goes for fish and birds not so much for dogs, but all dogs at pet shops are from mills because no breeder in his right mind would sell to a pet shop. I once met someone(little known to me at the time) with 3 red tail boas to sell them and he was the "staff expert" at a pet shop buying for them he said to me "are these colombian or american boas" there is no "american boa" all "red tail" boas do come from south america but none are called that what do you want me to say "no its a alaskan boa".

Mine had pretty darn good eating habits. I can't recall how often I fed, but the mice didn't last long. When she got big enough we would get chicks around Easter time.

My sister had a black rat snake in her house yesterday. I tried to catch it and take it outside, but was unsuccessful. Poor guy was probably just trying to get some lunch. I absolutely HATE rodents of all kinds so snakes and I get along rather well.

Don't bother the snake leave that to the experts, you are likly to hurt the snake, get niped and find out you are allergic to Colubrid saliva,etc. I worked with reptiles for 4 years before working with wilds, I am still looking to keep my first hot, venom one is on speed dial in my phone.
