So gloriously black...

And the ghost of pattern here near her tail are all that's left

And I was trying to get some good shots of Rebel's color, since he's gotten huge...but this was all I got before for some inexplicable reason my mother walking by got him all riled up, bluff-striking and hissing away until well after I'd put him back. First time he's ever been that way...and he also hasn't acted like that since.

Among other headaches: it's nice that Namer is handleable right now, but for some reason he's also decided not to eat. Apparently this is a fairly common thing among boas and pythons in winter though. His future girlfriend is still a bottomless pit though.

Domhara's also become more frustrating to feed...though 10 minutes of teasing still manages to get her going if I try very late at night.

Her color really can only be appreciated in person though

The juvenile, Reynard, is still a bottomless pit too though

Halailah has also stopped eating...but she's also a bit chunky and could use some slimming down. Like Namer, it's also nice that she's stopped trying to eat my fingers

Tsefan, on the other hand...

He didn't like his picture so he tried to eat the phone too

And there are 9 baby house snakes still here...with no concept of personal space

They fit nicely into small spaces though

This one...does not. The castle is the only thing I have right now to try representing her real size (she's double its height at least and it's 4 1/2 feet tall) but it's still something also only appreciated in person
