Thread: Meet Nyoka

Luv her in the photos not sure about in the flesh,does she give you kisses ? Not going to ask about cuddles as they could be a bit different to the ones we are used too from the furries....x

She does give cuddles; wraps herself around you arm, leg etc and gives a little sqeeze. I have to avoid the kisses tho she has far too many teeth I'm trying to get Blackie my Mexican Black King Snake to stay still for a pic at the moment x

Oh lovely a Mexican black King,you did say that if I came round they would be kept behind glass didn't you......! x

They will Jackie. Blackie is only a baby (about 4 feet long) but is very quick and aggressive. Best pics I could get ...

Haha no I have thick gloves. He is a greedy little so and so and feeding is a case of open small corner of lid, throw in two mice, close lid quickly and run. Ten minutes later check lid is firmly closed, then relax.

I will admit they are not my first choice of pets but they came with my son when he moved back in and they do kinda grow on you.

Thanks for the pics, Catslave. Snakes as pets - that's a whole new world!
They are fascinating creatures but I must admit I prefer the cuddle factor! x

Urgh, nope never going to be convinced they are lovable!!

I've got to admit they give me the heebie jeebies...
