I was just getting Shylah's attention on the ball, of which she has never been a fan. Now, I'm not so sure about it.
I'm still on Hughesnet since we won't get our new fiber optic service until late this year and the Hughesnet service is unacceptable.
She's gorgeous!
What the heck is going on with your Wi-Fi? That's awful.
All I can figure is that we're on a different satellite than you. I just read the other day that they've really overloaded some of them so it's super slow.
The one Ravenbird and I are on is based out of Kansas. I can't find what yours is since it's mostly from your phone.

I got some more new friends. Not everyones cup of tea. But they are my pets. I like most reptiles and have done well changing peoples opinion on snakes in particular.

Hiroshi- this guy is special. Called a Palmetto corn snake. Expensive little thing. But adorable.

What do you do with them? Like the rats, snakes and I cannot co-exist.

Well obviously you can’t play with them haha. Hold them, bring them outside in the summer. Pretty easy pets as long as you have good heating and locked cages. Most species come in a variety of colors and which are more sought after (almost collectible if you get what I mean).
You would really have to be a reptile person to truly understand. Its like an addiction. Can’t just have one!

Seems like every other addiction I know of. My brother is hooked on orchids...another on cars and motorcycles, I'm, of course, hopelessly hooked on dogs particularly the Doberman.
I've always liked reptiles - actually any creature! But when I was a kid I'd collect them out of ponds & ditches bring them home and put them in my aquarium, which I made into a terrarium. I'd look them up in my ID book, keep them for a few days then let them go. Snakes, frogs, toads, lizards, whatever. One time I brought home a baby snake and it turned out to be a cottonmouth. Oh sh!t, I thought. I took the whole glass aquarium way back in the woods and turned it sideways to let it out. At least I was smart enough to not hold it again. I never told my parents, they'd have stopped me from my nature quests. I also caught damsel flies (like dragonflies but dainty) and let them go in my room so I could watch them fly around. After several died (what was I thinking!?) I quit doing that. Had a box turtle for a year or so that would come to the kitchen (it was loose in the house) when you knocked on the floor - he learned that it meant he'd get something to eat. All this when I was about 9 to 12 years old. ALL creatures are fascinating and you learn so much respect when having them up close to teach you. I wasn't a normal kid, but was lucky to have parents that let me do my thing.

I never was into reptiles to own as pets though I love and appreciate all creatures. But after watching some herp YouTubers for the past few years it's been growing on me. I just love the lavender color of that corn snake!

Oh my goodness. Hahaha! Sounds like it didn’t want to waste its precious venom on some silly kid. Ha!
@Gpcoguy She may be placing but it looks like she just sits there and stares at you for attention. LOL Jasper does this. He will just stare at me silently. If I move in the slightest he stands up so quick thinking I am going to take him on an adventure.
They are beautiful!
