Nice snakes!

The photo with the yellow spotted lizards is a literary reference to the work “Holes”, a middle school classic and Disney movie.

It is a wonderful tale and has become one of my favorites. I had hoped to troll up another “Holes” fan

Googling, apparently they do have vocal cords!

That one is not mine. However, since I have recently purchased a Nikon D60 I do plan to take some closeups of ours (we have 2). I want everyone to see their blue tongues.

Awww... that was a great way to start the work week. They are so precious.

What’s John Kerry doing in Australia?

What comes to mind is the film CLOCKWORK ORANGE, which takes place in a dystopic Britain & the protagonist, Alex, has a snake (named Basil).

Maybe signs of the future?

[JoeProBono]

Basil?

We need restrictions on some of these animals. They're like slithering kudzu...

Here's your restriction:

Thanks! I’m glad you liked my little friends. I’d love to see yours when you get pictures.

[WFTR]

Thanks!

We have a corn snake, nothing fancy. She’s hiding under a rock this week, preparing to shed :-). My 12-year-old, the official owner (it was his Christmas present last year) keeps nagging for more snakes, but we don’t really have room. We have two bearded dragons (both male), and we’re considering breeding one of them next year.
