Attention! Reptile class now in session!
Since we had all those thrush photos here and here and here and here, here and here, today is equal time for reptiles.
Geez, I was turning into a birdieblogger. So, this is probably not equal time…
We saw the Reptile Man today. Once again, another excellent show.
Cobra, looking all mean and scary.
These guys, Gaboon Viper, are the real deal, longest fangs and strongest venom of venomous snakes. Me, I just think they’re real purdy.
Little tortoise, only 16, has many years to go, like maybe 200. This shot reminds me of that Australian comic with the emu puppet. Anyone remember him? No, just me?
We’re out of the crab today, would you like some soft-shell turtle instead?
Then he did this little bit with the alligator. Like a carnival act.
If you rub their eyes, they sorta pass out. Their blood pressure drops or something. I’m not sure, but the hubs does the same thing.
She DID have lovely, thoughtful eyes.
The albino Burmese Python reached out and made new friends.

Ooh, snakes! I love snakes. Only, not so much the poisonous ones.

NO, no, no. NOT FOR ME! I am sooo scared of reptiles - I would have passed out.

A Gaboon viper? I never get to see anything that cool.

We already have alligators in our backyards but those cobras? Not big on the fangs, biting, poison, package.
p.s. your dog in the header is FABULOUS! Pointer or Griffon?
