Yes, this is a post about a real, live snake, so if that’s not your thing, feel free to skip.
Now if you decided to stick around…
Many of you may remember Bowie, neighbour Krista’s ball python. The other day she brought him outside for a little summer sun
The neighbourhood kids think he’s pretty cool, and he had quite the audience for a while. Some of the neighborhood adults weren’t as thrilled, but they were content as long as Bowie stayed on his own lawn.
His colouring is “Banana Pewter” and I think he’s one of the prettiest pythons ever.
After having some fun in the sun, he decided my dress would be an ideal place for a wee rest. There couldn’t be a sweeter snake in my books.
I really, really don’t like snakes, but your pictures and commentary have made me see that this guy really is very lovely. However: Are you wearing that dress?? Thus, are you wearing that snake??? Yeek.

What a beauty! I wish all the snakes here were so pretty so I could see them better. I almost stepped on a black snake the other day. It was a good thing it was paying better attention than I was.

I am fascinated by snakes, but fear I would pass out from shock if one showed up.

The Hubby’s old housemate had snakes; big ones like Bowie’s size!
I really enjoyed handling them, but their frozen food (pinkies) in the freezer sorta put me off…

Since I am terrified of snakes, I skipped the post. Recently, my tuxedo cat was in the basket under the coffee table with her tail hanging out. All I saw initially was the black tail that looked like a snake coming out of the basket.

I’m terrified of snakes but I enjoyed seeing the photos on your post. If it were MY dress though, I would have fainted dead away.

when a snake is so big, to me, it is less threatening because there is not surprise. Its THERE not hiding in the tall safari grasses

Bowie is beautiful.
Does his owner have to watch so he doesn’t get a sunburn?

I can admire his coloring from here but if he curled by my dress/boots–my primal me would have kicked in! Agh!
