Snakes Alive

My name is tony and I am a snakeaholic…(yes I know that’s not a real word but fuck you, this is my blog!)

A few weeks back I started with Grand Moff Tarkin, a Royal Python. Look a few posts back and you’ll see pics of him. Actually im assuming it’s a him but I don’t know where a snakes bits are! Anyhow, when he is full grown, in around 2 years or so. He’ll reach maybe 5 foot in length and be nice and chunky round the middle. He has a brilliant temperament and is very chilled and lazy. He’s eating well, wolfing down a small rat every week. Fairly soon I’ll move him up to a larger sized rat and then increase the interval between feeding.

I also got this lovely lady, Kira.

She’s a Corn Snake, a species native to the eastern half of America. She’s much slimmer in the body than Grand Moff Tarkin but will achieve more or less the same length. She’s also quite chilled but was a feisty little sod when I first got her home. Interestingly, with corns snakes and with royal pythons there are many different colour variations, and some of these go for astonishing amounts. My 2 are examples of the ‘normal’ colouration.

Then there’s my new snake.

 That’s Nagini, a Boa Constrictor. If you want to be poncey and get her latin name for her species, she’s a boa constrictor imperator. If Nagini IS female then she’ll reach around 12ft in length and will be very chunky and strong. If male then slightly smaller at around 9ft but again, very strong. She’s a baby now so is eating rat pups but as she gets bigger. So will her dinner and eventually she’ll eat large rats and medium rabbits.

I’m now thinking about getting a cobra….

My pets will fuck your pets up!
