No word yet on whether Tank won the Bootiful Reptile contest.
Tank and I agree that he did well in the interview and scored the highest in the swimming segment.
We have talked and he understands he might not win but he's confident he did his best and that's all a dad can ask.

Tank won!

Tank is an incredible reptile, but he isn't going to win any beauty contests... He's got a great personality though, and it's personality that counts.

Tank won!

I take it back.

Did he tell pledge to work towards world peace in his acceptance speech?

Actually, he talked more about the need for extra shrimp and more lean meat at dinner time.

Tank won!

Told you he was beautiful.

Or maybe he just resembles and old worn out leather boot? You did say it was a "most bootiful" contest.

My male cat, Tiger. He was born in May 2007.


Tiger's mother, Lucky, enjoying the sunshine in a window. I have no idea how old she is, as I found her as a stray a little over 8 years ago. She had three kittens before being spayed: Tiger, Sweetie, and Tom. Tom had to be put down because of a terminal illness, though.


Tiger's sister, Sweetie, who was born in the same litter as Tiger. Unfortunately, thanks to my mother's roommate, I no longer have her. She's been missing since May, and I haven't been able to find her despite putting up multiple posters, posting lost&found ads, searching at night for weeks in the apartments and surrounding streets, and asking around town if anyone had seen her.


Now, my non-garter snakes :P
Cloud, my 2 year old boa constrictor. He's about 5.5ft now, and is my favorite of my snakes.


And Bud, my 7 year old ball python. He's only 3.5ft, but he makes up for it by being super inquisitive when I take him out. Here he is, doing his favorite activity: climbing. Unfortunately, he's very clumsy despite his arboreal habits, so I no longer provide things for him to climb on in his enclosure. I'll try some intricate weaving of bamboo if I can ever get out and gather some (we have an nuisance problem with introduced bamboo in my neighborhood).

I got a new snake. Someone found it in a parking lot a few blocks away, called me to say they found a "red tailed boa". I get there and it's a Lemon Blast Ball Python. He/she seems fine. Active, tongue flicking, no signs of R.I. but I'll be watching for that. Was awfully cold last night and this morning. First sign of sniffles he's going to the vet. I'm sure I can recover that cost later.

Free is a good price for these is it not? I don't even like ball pythons, that's the ironic part. Pretty little guy though. Just a baby. I'll probably keep him just for a spell until I'm sure he's OK.

Nice save.

Great save richard at a great price! Are you sure it's a lemonblast and not a superblast? Depending on sex it could be worth anywhere between $200 and $500!

No, I'm not sure but all the pics I see of super blast they have faded lines. These are nice and dark black. It does have more of an orangy yellow color though but from what I can tell, lemon blast varies a bit. I did see ads for baby lemon blast and some looked exactly like this snake. I looked at a lot of pics and got many opinions that its a lemon blast. Female I think but not really sure. Seems to be doing fine this morning. going to try feeding later today.

A local breeder is selling males for $175 and females for $275. If I can fatten it up I probably will sell it. Not interested in keeping a BP. And I just had a heat pad and a dome lamp quit on me this week. I could use the money to replace them and maybe get another extra lamp or pad.

I checked local ads on craigslist and humane society. nobody reported missing a snake.
