She is what she is. An overzealous eater.
I'm glad I don't have many of these.
Having one or two in a group is challenging and somewhat fun.

GLAD?! It's awesome!! Kiddin I wouldn't want a lot either, but I'd want one!

Note to self:
Make sure the Bull Snake is out of feeding mode before trying to pick it up.
I yelled for Gabby who took a couple photos. Then a few squirts from a water bottle and she released.
Thunder didn't set her teeth or do any thrashing(good thing).
Very little blood was drawn. I've had garter snakes do worse.
This is the first time she's ever done this and I have no one to blame but myself.

She's a very big girl. Could have done a lot of damage. I got bit by a wild one close to 7 feet long but it wasn't a feeding response, I was attempting to catch it. I needed 4 or 5 sutures to close the wound.

It was one of those situations where you see the snake unexpectedly (it came up to me) and you're like "OMG, I gotta have that" and you just react like a reflex and grab it. Afterwards I was like... "hmm... maybe that wasn't such a good idea" LoL.

He is big!

That's the female. She's just over 7 feet.
She's a great girl. She's also 10 years old.

Oh. Oops.

Check out this little red radix and the way the red is developing on her face.

That's cool, is it one of the "super novas"?

No. Just a random red radix.
