She's a Western Gaboon to be exact. Just got her. She's from the jungles of Central and Southern Africa.

I admire their beauty. NO WAY WOULD I HANDLE HER. They are good captives, however, because they are very lazy (stay in the exact same position for weeks at a time) and they are generally non-aggressive. I have several non-venomous, too.....I had wanted a Gaboon ever since I saw at the zoo when I was a kid.
 
Looks kind of like the one I hit with the lawn mower last weekend
:biggrin:

I just don't see the desire for something like this, but hey, if it makes you happy.......

My friend has a snake that is 6 feet long and honestly, it just takes up space. I does absolutely NOTHING to entertain the guests.

Maybe you could teach it to roll over or sit up and beg. What do you feed that thing? Car parts from broken down Vipers? Or would that be cannibalism? :biggrin:
