Evening wear. It is becoming a nightly tradition for this one.

I tried to get my snake to eat salad but I just can’t get him to make the transition. (I’m a
biologist and yes I have a snake…that said, the pic shall be replaced.)

What kind of snake do you have? We've touched on the biology topic a couple of times, I know I've mentioned I have some experience handling mid weight raptors, but also plenty with snakes- mostly Colubrids- but quite a bit of experience with Crotalids as well! I can't remember if this has come up on the forum or not but my right thumb is missing- I was bitten by an angry Western Diamondback some years ago (not an experience I recommend under any circumstances).

I kept all sorts of animals growing up but haven't had a snake for a number of years. the last one I had as a "pet" was a Desert Kingsnake that got into my house in Arizona.

Mexican black king snake. From Arizona and Mexico. He’s a beauty. Jet black with coal black eyes. He’s my office mate. Never utters a word 😀 Bonus that he was a rescue in need of a quality home.

Westerns are know for their delightful personality (sarcasm). Artrox is particularly nasty. Sorry about the thumb. Most unpleasant experience, I’m certain

Regarding your Mexican black- gorgeous creatures! Most of the L. getula subspecies are absolutely beautiful (I can't keep up with the cladistic reorganization that's going on, I just double-checked wikipedia and it now lists the desert king as a separate species and not a subspecies!).

Regarding C. atrox... yes, very friendly creatures indeed. adamantus is more deadly but less likely to encounter people (and not by much). Definitely not an experience I wish to repeat!

Enough thread drift...

I just looked at pictures of some Mexican black king snakes. What a beautiful snake!
