hearing that a japanese whaling ship caught fire.
Being bowled out for 30 is bad but i was on a team that got all out for 16. Yes we were terrible, a bit the England side for most of their aussie tour.

Yes there are about a dozen different kinds of snakes that are native to Germany including 3 poisonous kinds. Not as much as in other parts of the world such as the US, Australia, S.America, Africa, Asia, etc...

However my snake is not from Germany it is a Python from Ghana, Africa.
 
Chris what type of Python is she ? I have a very old photo of an Uncle in Congo that shot a Python out of the trees..............that sucka was 15 feet long, they laid that monster out with the locals whopping it up all around it, beating on that dead carcass with anything they could find as the snake was scoring on the locals small goats
 
She is a Ball Python (sometimes called a Royal Python). She will not get very big. She is about 3 to 3 and half feet now (maybe 4 and half, I need to measure her) and will grow to about 5 and half to 6 feet. That is why I got her, because my wife was uncertain at first about having larger snakes like my 8ft Red Tail Columbian Boa and the Burmese Python that would grow to about 15 ft that I used to have.

Now after living with this snake she does not mind me having more and even bigger ones. Here is a pic of her, she is a very beautiful snake.

she's a beut Chris ! now, she eats primarily rodents correct or ? also during the winter months does she slow down a bit ? have heard that they can predict weather long before humans do by their natural instincts as missed feedings, slowing down, etc ....... true ?

She eats only rodents. About 2 to 3 every 2 weeks.

She does not have a real winter months because the temperatur is allways kept in the terrarium at about 28 to 32 C during the day and about 21 to 24 C at night.

The only time you have to turn the temp down for the winter months is if you wish to breed them, which I will not do. To much can go wrong.
 
interesting, so will she have a larger home in the future or like fish will the present location keep her at that size she is at right now ?

thanks E ~
 
In this terrarium she can grow to her full length. It is a rather long terrarium, goes from wall to wall in the room. When I build my house in Alaska though I wish to have a bigger terrarium for her with more trees for her to climb and deeper so that she can dig more tunnels than she can in this one.
