If you were a snake....

[Sliding Scales]

Ok...lets have some fun people. We all read what people say as they describe a snake, such as "I like the red tail.." or..."Oh my god he's huge..." and the classic..."Look at the pink belly."

So how would your snake tell another snake what YOU look like. Seriously...this could be fun. Post a picture of one of your snakes, with him or her describing you, their owner. Do it in the same manner as we all do when we describe a snake. Only one rule... It has to be the snakes description of you.

What do you say? You in?

I will let one of you go first...

I love the rat on his face, it has a nice color. His eyes are very noticeable as he is always staring at me...hazel I think. He is an old one...and doesn't move around much anymore, but he is still a pig and takes everything I give him. He was a rescue...and I know he's not as nice as the other humans...but I love him.




That's how it's done. SS

I thought you were gonna ask, "If you were a snake, what kind of snake would you be?" I was all prepared to say a nic because I'd want to bite every human that came near me! ha ha

My snakes would describe me as a big touchy feely monster that smells like fruit scented lotion and likes to be hugged tightly. But not too tightly.

my mom? i love my mom! my mom loves me. we kind of look alike. i have brown eyes and so does she. my mom has the nicest hands of any mom, she uses them to rub the breaks on my back.

my human is an idiot like all humans! i would just as soon bite her face off as look at her. i only tolerate her cause she hand delivers me juicy rats.

my mom is pretty cool. she gives me good food to eat every week. i just wish she would quit singing 'bright sunshiney day' to chance. mom cant carry a tune.

duh, what was the question again?

an italian locality, produced by a local breeder, but i don't have papers. Makes a lot of noice but he's pretty harmless. Doesn't even have venom, not even very sharp teeth at all. Pretty unimpressive, maybe I'll put him in my turtle room.


very clumsy animal, can you imagine it picks me up? makes me very nervous. at least he's like a well trained outdoor cat, i don't have to deal with cleaning up after him or bathing him, though i know it is dangerous to have an outdoor animal like that. he's got blue eyes, so i'm looking for a het for blue to maybe breed him in a few seasons, he's had his eye on an unproven het, might let him go for it.


not really irridescent, no real color on him. what can i say, typical "regular" human. he was my first, you know, like that first buy and then you got all your cool morphs once you got into keeping humans but you already bought him and he lives a long time so now you're kinda stuck with him? i'm keeping him in the same enclosure as another human, female regular. she's prettier than he is. i hope he doesn't try to breed with her but i can't afford another human enclosure, they're expensive for really big animals. been thinking about just going to sterilite and flexwatt though. not like i'm showin him off to anyone

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

He's an SOB! Always hooking and touching me with those cold metal tools that keep him just out of range. But one day revenge will be mine! I hope to nail him right between the eyes.

OMG...you guys are really getting into the flavor of this! I loved the post by John White...although it should have been him. (Ok...funny as all He__!)

Caligula13...that was amazing! I felt as though I was listening to your snake. (Well...maybe it was those little voices in my head...but that is a different forum altogether )

I am happy that you are all getting into this...as my idea was based on the way we all think of our snakes (and lizards) as family. They all have different personalities, as my post "Escher's first YouTube video" illustrates. I was looking at my Kingsnake and thought "I wonder what he's thinking?" That was it. I hope we can get others to get into it, and once again many thanks.

Stargazer...you should have used that picture I took. The head shot of ? Veronica? It is such a nice picture.

omg! that was great!
but still we love them. again, this clarifies my belief that us snake lovers are missing a very important chemical in our brains!
