Our new Friends

So since I've been a little off with my blogging I haven't told the world about our new friends/family that we adopted last year. 

We the Qhamata family are now the proud owners of 2 (yes two) Ball Pythons.  They were re-homed to us by our new friend Tegan that works at Pet Co.

The first was named Venom, but don't let the name fool you ball pythons are constrictors and don't actually have any venom.  I have my middle child to thank for the name.  This snake was our first and is a pet for the kids.

Isn't he cute! I've never been a snake person and balked at the idea from day one, but after researching the breed and visiting the pets store a couple of times myself after about 3-4 months I finally agreed to the insanity of it and that's when we met Tegan.  We were looking for a rep to purchase the python in the observation tank and a cage when she informed us she had a bp that was about 3 y/o that needed a good home.  Taking her word for it we brought the tank and arranged to pick up the snake in a week to make sure he was taking frozen rats.

Fast forward a couple of months we are shopping for snake food when we run into Tegan who again offers to re-home another snake to us being that we've been such good parents to Venom.  Enter Goldie.

This not being his best picture but he's really shiny :) This one, this one is mine. 

Of course now that everyone more or less has their snake my husband is on some BS looking to not add another ball python to our growing zoo, but an actual python or a Boa.   SMH  I opened the flood gates when I agreed to the first. LOL

So far he's entertained a red tailed boa, something similar to the white lipped python.  He's easy as long as it's a baby and it will be bigger than our ball pythons because since 'he's a big man he needs a big snake'.  ANYWAYS LOL!

So we currently are the owners to two ball pythons with the possibility of 3rd snake in the near future.
