Snake on the table...


Rachel thought Shendi might enjoy a little sun. On the porch in late afternoon the sun streams in warm enough to belie the actual frigid temperatures. Immediately upon being placed in the sun, Shendi became very still and let me take a number of close-up photos. In this one, when it is full sized, you can see her tongue has tiny spots on it. Who knew? Her head is only about as big around as my pinkie finger, but her last skin measured 27". She is a fascinating creature, I must admit. Still, the idea of having a "grand snake" is taking some getting used to.
