Oooohhh, it's a snake!!!
Meet Spurlock. We're babysitting him while our friend is away in B.C. looking for a new place to live. He's a really nice snake and was really good about us taking him out to play. As morbid as it may sound, I'm really looking forward to feeding him next weekend. He's a Duméril's boa, in case anyone was wondering.
I do like snakes, and have wanted to own a smaller one like a kingsnake for some time, but this guy is making me think I might want a bigger fella like him.
We're also looking after what I think is a Kenyan sand boa, but I'm not sure. The thing is always hiding, and is apparently really moody.
