I've noticed a lot of people have threads dedicated to their snakes so they don't have to keep making new threads every time one of them does something interesting, so I figured I'd go ahead and do it too.

First off, there's Houdini. He's my first snake, and he's been with me for 11 years. I got him for free when he escaped from his tank in the petstore and I caught him. He's my buddy, and I can't wait till I can have him and Harley in the same tank.



Then there's Harley. I got her this summer; she was born mid-May, so now she's a little under four months old. She's the main reason I'm starting this thread. With her growing and coloring up I'm constantly wanting to post random things about her.

This is two days after we got her



And this is her now; she refuses to hold still, so I can't tell exactly, but I'd guess maybe 8 or 9 inches long.

Good looking snakes.
It should be a fun thread for all of us.
Thanks for starting it.
11 years with Harley. We'd love to hear some stories about him.

Would love to hear the stories as well. Nice looking snakes, Houdini & Harley.

Those are awesome snakes! Houdini is really cool, and Haley is looking great!

Thanks, I passed the compliments along to the snakes, but they ignored me and started begging for more food.

Something sort of interesting did happen with Houdini yesterday. My mom was holding him, and I decided to get Harley out and let them do a supervised meet'n'greet. Houdini immediately recognized that the other snake was nearby, but where she's still so small and he can't really see, he couldn't really home in on her, meanwhile she's aware of everything going on and just chilling out in my hand. Finally, Houdini decided that my arm was the other snake, and started trying to interact with it. It was kind of funny to watch.

how come your middle finger has the only nail that is long?

Huh, that's a really neat program. I'll have to try that with both of them.
Good thing it works with crappy cameras and fidgety snakes!

It's not anymore, it got chewed off during the GRE a day or two ago
