Jasmine is an '08 King Ratsnake (Elaphe Carinata) 66% het albino female from Amy Zerkle. I researched Carinata for around 3 years before I got my gal. When I first got her she went on my rack. That was a fail. She developed RI so I took her to a vet. When we got there they took precautions and gave me Fortaz (RI) and Panacur (Parasites). They said they wanted to give parasite meds as a precaution. I was fine with it anything for Jasmine. I spent $200 at the vet on her and she cost $112.37. So I put her in a regular viv. I slowly have made it a natural viv. It has full spectrum lighting and everything. She is my pride and joy. She is my favorite animal! I can't imagine NOT having her. Here are some photos.
BTW I got her March 19th 2009
This is her when I first bought her

This is her today

She's lovely, David. Sure looks like she's thriving under your care!

This is Bert, he's an Argentine Black & White Tegu.

Does Bert live at the Ranch? He looks like a neat pet, but don't they get big?

Yes, he is a member of the Ranch. He'll max out at about 4 feet.

Here is our Eastern Fox Snake. He's a mouse eating machine.

So last night before I went to bed I checked my thermometers. Both racks were at 84 in the back. Perfect. Corn cage 83. Perfect! Garter nursery 80f perfect! King Rat snake...battery dead! Her hot side thermmometer had a dead battery! So I figure I will just grab some batteries and change the thermometer. So I opened the cage and unleashed the wrath of a sleeping carinata!

I took a picture of her sleeping
Then she woke up and started biting!

Note to self...don't wake up a sleeping King Rat!
