:High 5: Rainbow Boa's! Cool beans, Doob! Those are so lovely, like they were dipped in liquid Opal.... many year ago I had a Mexican Kingsnake, jet black, with similar opal sheen to him,...Cripes! was he squirrely! and a total escape artist too,... The texture and feel of the body was so cool though, like a live wire, but as he got older and bigger, his temperament became dicey! :X's Evil Laugh x: So, I sold him to a good home...Which species of rattler and rat snake do you have? Are the Rainbows mello, or kinda nasty like I suspect the rat snake is? Doob, you're welcome to shoot me a pic here, I'd love to see Shaka and Khan, and the others too... Black light Scorp' table! That, is such the bachelor pad item! LOL- interesting idea, with the right scorp's.... don't think Emperor's would do... Security check! LOL I'm sure others have done something similar with crazy toxic snakes and a safe of sorts,... impmyride:
AS} LOL! Lucky for me (us), he's always been particularly mello! (never even once struck out in defense or aggression) ...I think their life span can be well over 30 years... Honestly, Alan, I don't think snakes are very sentient, compared to other notably 'intelligent' reptiles like Monitor lizards... Many folks think there snakes 'know' them personally vs. a stranger,...In 27+ years of owning various (smaller) snakes, I've never seen the least sign of such acknowledgement; I tell them it's not a mammal, with a mammal brain, much less a domesticated pet....they literally don't have the brain structure and development for such a thing... they know people aren't food (usually!), aren't danger, so it's all good... unless you, say, handle a rat/other food animal, get it's scent on you, then the snake, then accidents happen because natural reflex and behavior take over... Doob' knows! Whoa! watch out reaching for that water bowl! LOL!
