Snake love is definitely in the air in my house LOL Corn Snakes have already bred, Sunny my Lemon Pastel Ball Python is with Tipr my normal and Chewy and Jade are together. I swore I wouldn't breed anymore snakes because I hate parting with the babies but there is something so magical about bringing baby snakes into the world and that's what they do in a wild environment so no reason to deprive them of doing what nature has equipped them to do in a captive environment as long as you are dedicated to caring for them and finding the babies good homes :) I apologize for not posting videos lately but as you can see I've been VERY busy here at home with all my awesome scaled friends :o)

I love this time of the year when I can start taking my snakes back outdoors for some exercise and activities and the opportunity to express themselves and live like snakes should be able to live to have every opportunity to enhance their senses :)
Sunny was the first one out this time around and many of my snakes are getting ready to shed but they will get to go out after their sheds and after having eaten a meal,

Something so many overlook is that no two snakes are the same. They each have their own personality and temperament and they get in bad moods and have good and great days. All of these different behaviors indicates that snakes do in fact display feelings and emotions. Jade my female Coastal Carpet Python in this video is a very moody and sometimes unpredictable snake and yet Chewy my male Coastal Carpet Python is extremely calm and placid and never changes his moods.

Mark the photographer that came to visit me for a special in a big local newspaper 2 years ago and (Now Attending Colgate College) called me yesterday and is coming in today or tomorrow for a photo shoot of myself and my snakes for the science department and for his own personal portfolio at Colgate College I am so stoked about this one !!!!! Mark holds a degree in fine arts and sciences :)
A great step forward for snake education and some big shoes to try to follow into Harry Greene (Field Biology And Snake Education) at Cornell University's Video !!A BIG name in snake education through the years and Rattlesnake Conservation !!! All together 2 hours of continious photo shooting for a total of at least 600 pictures and I will get copies in a few weeks of all the professional photos. There are no boundaries when it comes to doing snake education as long as you do it properly and with a positive attitude

Many people don't realize that snakes just like people have good days and bad days and there are many things that influence the way they react to people. For snakes to display anger and aggression and to be able to change their moods and temperaments and personalities they must have a sense of feelings and emotions just as a humans emotions determine the mood they are in :)

Articles on memory in snakes: first some experiences of snake keepers: http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/forums... and a scientific article: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10... would love to see a ton of more recent research being done on snakes to dismiss the lies and myths and misconceptions about them !! Through my 55 years of raising snakes I've witnessed so many different behaviors that dismiss most all of those lies and misconceptions about snakes personalities, temperaments and their ability to adapt to their environment and become exceptionally social animals and they learn to bond and trust and stop being defensive or aggressive animals. I know for a fact that snakes are very forgiving creatures and that's because when they bite someone it's never personal but merely an instinctual response. I have witnessed my snakes pout and retreat when they did strike at me or bite me in the past as well I've seen them get angry and stressed out and react with anger and aggressive behavior but I will continue to believe that these reactions are not all based on instinct but based on their perception and mental response to certain stimuli.
