Halloween Trick or Treat?

AWWWW. That thing is adorable and the picture is fine. I'm infinitely jealous. Nice size. Male or female?

[adamanteus]

That's 'McGregor', a male. I rarely name my snakes, for him I made an exception.

[Stefan-A]

Why him and why "McGregor"?

[adamanteus]

Him, because he was the 'pinnacle' of my snake keeping experience. McGregor.... don't really know, it just suited him.

Nice one adamanteus! I see lunch is waiting @ the front of the cage.

Mine did not have a great disposition. I thought it was going to get me for sure one day I could tell when it was hungry, so I would "thump" a live rat & throw it in. If it was going to eat, it would strike the rat. Otherwise, if it wasn't hungry, it wouldn't do anything, & I would pull the rat out to give to someone else. He would rarly eat in front of me. Usually waited til I left the room.

Only pic I could find of her

She's a real beauty, Jerry. I wish I had more photos of my snakes from years ago. I'm sure I took a lot more but they're all gone now, lost or given away!

I think it's a good name for a rattler.

[adamanteus]

I think it's a good name for a rattler.

Thankyou. It kind of 'fits' somehow.... don't you think?

[Stefan-A]

It absolutely fits, there's something about it that makes sense. It's definitely a nice "hard" name for something with a foul attitude (at least according to their reputation) and an arsenal to match.

[adamanteus]

McGregor was the last of my venomous snakes to go, I was reluctant to part with him. I still have a piece of his rattle that broke off one time.

I rattle it when I miss him. I'm kidding, of course!!
