I've so many pictures of my babies that it's hard to select just a few to show off!

Wesley was my first Ribbon. When I took Wesley in to my friend he told me that Wes was a girl.
Oops. I've tried changing the name but she's been Wesley since May of 2010 that it's very difficult
to fix! Wes was hunting out by my fish pond when I caught her an much smaller than she is now.

Five months after I got Wes I found Charlie on Craigslist. I was blown away at Finally finding another
Ribbon snake. I'd been hunting around for so long that I was close to quitting. Charlie was kept in really
bad conditions and had many injuries. My friend told me Charlie was a boy. I got the name right
on that one. Charlie's wounds are healed but he's still very terrified of human presence.

In July of 2011 I found Singapore also on Craigslist. Singapore was a huge thrill to find because she
was a Ribbon and also massive in size. I'd never seen a Ribbon as big as her! My friend confirmed
her sex. This big girl was being kept in a ten gallon tank. The previous owners caught her outside
their home and had decided to keep her. I'm not sure why I chose the name Singapore but it just
stuck. Presently she's now a little over three foot. I'm hoping that I was successful in pairing her with
Charlie.

B.J. is my most recent snake. After three months of continuous searching for more Ribbon snakes I
decided to try and order one from our local pet store. I was unsuccessful with ordering from them
two years before but decided to try again since they'd gotten in new staff. I placed the order and got a call
in October, three weeks later. I was highly impressed. My friend handed me B.J. an Eastern Ribbon
snake. He told me that B.J. was a boy. B.J. is so beautiful. The black is just gorgeous! Very pleased with
Beej.
I'm still on the hunt for the aqua blue ribbons. But that doesn't mean that I love my foursome any less!
I'm keeping my three little ones in a forty gallon and Singapore in a twenty. All of them get fed live fish twice
a week. Singapore is the one who especially looks forward to her fish! The most she's ever ate in one day is seven
large fish. I tampered with the idea of feeding her fuzzies like she was given before but don't know if I should since
everything I've read says that mice feeding is bad for their stomachs. Thoughts?
I'm also using Cypress Mulch for the bedding and 75 watt bulbs in both tanks. Since Singapore is very violent with
feeding I've been considering switching out her bedding for newspaper because she's choked one too many times on
Cypress chips. I'd hate to do that since she loves piling around herself or just move it around for fun. Thoughts?
More pictures will come! This is just an intro.
