Through the information superhighway, I met a wonderful person with a wonderful collection of snakes. Originally she helped me with all sorts of questions about boas, back when I was considering getting a boa constrictor. And yes, I did get one, then two, then 3 (and that last one from her!).
Since then we have visited in person a few times, and during one of these visits, I felt my first Olive python. The best way to describe it was soft suede mixed with heaven. I was now hooked, wishing I could own such a magnificent creature. But she didn't have any available. At the time, her bigger female was most likely about to lay eggs soon. And she did! I have been following the progress with anticipation.
However, we visited the other day and had a wonderful time seeing the Olives and other snakes. We also picked up a sweet adult female ball python that my youngest daughter got to hold at the recent reptile show. A ball python will be a great addition to the educational lineup. But oh, those Olives ... nothing feels quite like them. Here is a gallery of our good times. First the Olives, then my son fell in love with a Madagascar Tree Boa, a beautiful Rhino ratsnake, and the pile of Olive eggs.
