He's posing on a 1981 Bally Vector pinball machine, if anyone's curious. Haha. I'll probably do more pictures--at least of the MBK--on various arcade machines because...they make interesting backdrop.

Yes, we have a veritable arcade downstairs.

Re: Kings of the forum!

Thanks El-Ziggy, She almost got out again today It was her feeding day today and I feed her in a separate tub that has handles that clamp up to lock the top in place. I usually just place the lid on top of the tub without bothering to lock it down since I sometimes feed more than one food item. I dropped in the first mouse which she grabbed right away and then I turned to do some work on my computer. I got engrossed in my computer work for about 5 minutes and thought, "Oh yea, I've got to feed her that second mouse." When I turned back around, I found that she had finished the first mouse, then crawled to the top rim of the feeding tub and pushed up the top of the tub and had about 1 foot of her body arched out as she was making her escape. Needless to say, from now on, I will always lock down the tops whenever I feed in a separate tub. This is the snake that escaped about 8 months ago and she is very good at hiding. I don't want to go through that again. I'll try to post some photos of my other Hondurans later this week.

Whew, close call there Jim. Gotta batton down the hatches with that one all the time huh? Glad that wasn't another escape story. I'm sure you'd hate to lose that guy.

lol I've been busy so yeah lol


The crew is fine, except the turtle.


Came home from school and found him stuck on his back. Not sure how long he was stuck there so I put him back in the water and he started throwing up. He hasn't eaten much ever since and isn't as active. He seems to slowly be getting better. I'm planning on taking him outside today to soak up some sun.

Behold, a freshly shed Noodle! ...with some remaining scale damage from wedging himself under his lid. GG, scrub. (And yes, I'm going to address that problem.)

Re: Kings of the forum!

Beautiful snake! I have another Honduran headed my way to round out my collection. She's an adult Albino Tangerine with the brightest yellow I've ever seen on a Honduran. She's coming from the collection of Tom Booton and will be shipped in a week or so. I've asked Tom to hold off shipping to accommodate a business trip I'll be on since I want to be there when she arrives. This is actually Tom's picture of her.
