I just got back from being away for 3 weeks and mum told me of a big python we had visiting who was bathing in our pond in the pool area. I immediately went to the pool area and sure enough he was still there this time sunning himself. Apparently he was here this time last year as well so he...

I was just listening to Dr Chris Brown on the radio; he was saying how he doesn't understand the whole pet snake thing.... Blah blah blah... He then went on about the myth about the python sizing up it's owner to eat it (wish I had a dollar for every time someone's told me that) and he said that...

My baby boy just had a very bad shed so I got him out and started pulling it off in bits and pieces. However it was really stuck so I decided to get a damp cloth and wipe him down. He didn't take too kindly to this so he had a go at me. It's the first time he's bitten me in about three years...

I've been noticing more and more references to cross breeding. I'm not a fan of this myself, but quite curious to hear other's views and opinions on it * takes can opener to worm can * ;)

A friend emailed me this photo recently.....somewhere in the Arnhemland escarpement. Apparently it looked to be in excess of 3m.

I just got my first real bite from Zephyr, my eight-month-old stimmie, if blood is a prerequisite for a proper bite. It was totally my fault for popping something back into her enclosure during a feed. I thought I was safe because she hadn't stretched her jaws, which she normally does before...
