Ooo I'd forgotten about this thread.. Might as well pop a few pictures of my little swimmer!
This is Sierra, my gorgeous Water Python. Love her to pieces. I'll have to get some updated pictures of her messing around and swimming sometime, when she's in the mood and I have a camera ready.
Oh I also feel I should add, she's easily as placid and snugglesome as Floyd (my Cape York Carpet, who is an absolute snugglestick). Look at that little face.. How could anyone be afraid of this! (unless you're a rat... then the fear is 100% justifiable. She LOVES her some food)
She's usually very calm and relaxed, though occasionally (rarely) she can get a little nervous when out and about. When she is, her response isn't to bite, but to try and hide herself (usually in my hair or up my sleeve..) and if she wants to hide somewhere, there's no stopping her.. She is FAST. I swear she has supersnake speed, she can zip from your lap up into your hair in the blink of an eye. In fact I plan to buy her a cape just as soon as I find one her size!
I'm currently still in the process of getting her used to grass... She hasn't spent a huge amount of time outside on the grass because of all the Kookaburras in our area, and for some reason she seems quite.. well, petrified of the stuff. As soon as I set her down on the grass, she darts for the nearest non-grassy surface (including me). I've never seen a python move as fast as Sierra when she's placed on grass.
I have managed to get her to sit still for a couple photos after about half an hour of lawn-time. Hopefully with a little time she'll learn to love lawn-time as much as Floyd does.
Anyhoo, come on guys! More Water Python pictures!
