Odd lunch for snake....

[ssssnakeluvr]

My cranky concinnus decided to have an odd lunch today....of course my hand smelled like fish. She is a feisty one too, was moving her to a holding tank to clean her cage when she got me.....

[Gijs & Sabine]

Looks like she doesn't intent to let go any time shortly :eek:

[ssssnakeluvr]

yea, she had no intention of leaving me the finger...she started eating the finger...I ran cold water on her and she let go!!

Great picture, Don!:D

[ssssnakeluvr]

thanks...not exactly one I was expecting to take... nice thing tho, the bite didn't break the skin, she just grabbed and didn't bite down hard (like she has before...drawn blood!)

here's a close up of the cranky snake....

WOW, great picture, Don!! She looks very satisfied :D

[adamanteus]

That is a good picture! She knows she won!!!:D

[Snaky]

In my eyes she looks a bit cranky that she had to let loose.... wouldn't put your finger to close in the next days if I where you:p

[Sid]

Great shots, Don. The last photo does show some attitude:D

[ssssnakeluvr]

She's got plenty!!! She will come crawling up out of her cage at me when its feeding time!!!

[adamanteus]

I love a snake with attitude. I hope my concinnus grow up just like that one!

[Stefan-A]

That's a great picture, Don. :D

[drache]

that snake is giving you the evil eyes, Don

I am glad you both survived the bite incident!

[enigma200316]

really great pics, and a very nice looking snake.........:)
she really did look like she wanted that fingure though........:eek:

[GarterGuy]

Great pics.....funny, my female concinnus is the same way. She doesn't have to smell fish on you though to go after you and she's not afraid to take a big bite, like the one she did of my arm. I had to use the sprayer to get her off, she was determined to pull my arm back into the tank and have at it...LOL!:eek: Silly snakes!:rolleyes:

[ssssnakeluvr]

she was pretty determined herself...I fugured she would let go, but she started to eat the finger and that's when I decided to run cold wter on her....she didn't like that!!! let go of me quickly! :eek:

[Lulu Bennett]

pmsl they are great pics hun. i love the last one lol she looks reallllllly p*ssed lol

[Elliot]

She must be as aggressive as my babies easterns. One had in his mind that he was going to swallow the tweezers!:rolleyes:

[ScimitarX]

I was feeding my checkered the other night, he bit the waterbowl he was so eager for food! Also my red sided seems to be going through a hungry phase, as soon as i take the lid off the tub shes in she is staight out and biting ready for food, she was a monster during the last feed!!

[Snaky]

When we're going into odd eat stories. I had a cyrtopsis who began eating the plate (usually I give id on a very small dish) the fish was on... didn't think anything of it untill 10 minutes later I still saw her chewing on it, not little progress though:rolleyes: So I thaught, let's help her a bit and take her of the plate. So she went into her hide when I got close. I moved the plate a bit and went away again. 10 minutes later I came by again, to see her chew on the plate again:eek: I wonder how much she ate that day...

I think CUTE is not the right worth :D We have a infernalis male who flatten his head totaly when he's been handeled, but at that time he is not so cute. He will attack you for sure and he looks very simular to some kind of viper. I'll try to get a picture from him when he's like that.

Oooooh these pics are priceless!!!!! I mean, your finger is really a small price to pay for shots like these, don't you think? You DO have 9 others... LOL!!

That "mad face" shot is AWESOME!!!!! :-)

[infernalis]

The fun thing about "spying" on what people are looking at is finding missed threads like this.

Don, That is one gorgeous snake.

Love the attitude.

My Corn tried that once, but he let go before I could get to the camera.

[ssssnakeluvr]

how did you "spy" on me and know I was looking at that thread???? was looking for an old pic, the one of her muching my finger, resaved it into my computer and added it to mygallery page on my website. unfortunately she passed away in brumation.....I think she had some slugs left inside that didn't pass....odd lumps in her back end. :( about 2 weeks after dropping slugs, she dropped a still born baby...... sucks...but, I have her mother... :D I have 2 pair of red spots taking their winter nap right now....hopefully will have a few babies!!!!!! one female is over 32 inches long, real big, had 9 babies last year, 8 stillborn and one live that passed away a week later. the norm for them is 7 in a litter...large babies tho!!!!

I was working on my web site...adding photos...I added a 2009 expected offspring (hopefully) list.
