Bowie the Ball Python

your family sounds pretty cool, kaydee! i hope your mom will learn to love him. i used to always get random animals too when i lived at home. ive had an iguana, a bunny and an a rat which my mom hated and couldn't get over. when i was an elementry school i always was trying to sneak in baby ducks lol. one time my mom was gonna let me keep one until my uncle came home and talked her out of it.

have you come up with a name for your snoodle yet?
 
snoodle is a v cute name

His name is actually Bowie, but "snoodle" is one of the commonly used snake descriptors, just like "strange dog" "moving stick" and many many other names, I also call him my long son.

ALSO here is some more Bowie spam because I have been handling him for a few days now and he's really amazing so far. Has not bit me once, already got him to eat, and he got 500 notes on one of his pictures on tumblr already! He's basically famous! Lol. So yes, here, view all the glory that is my long son!

This was the first day I held him, right off the bat he was giving my smooches, sorry for the unflattering picture of me in my jammies but I honestly don't care, there are snake smooches and that's all that matters.

Boobs make the best beds, even for snakes.

Blowing raspberries isn't very gentlemanly, but who cares, he's adorable.
I am clearly already obsessed with him.
 
wait
your snake got posted through fedex??

Yep! I don't live anywhere near good pet stores so I had him shipped over, in a bag, inside a little box. Usually if it's longer distances they'll include a heat pack, and they overnight it. I was just ticked off that the FedEx person didn't KNOCK because it literally says "live harmless reptile" on the package. Like sure, just leave that outside on the porch...

ALSO forgot to say how I broke it to my mom, she had just got home from my grandma's and she went in the kitchen and I was like, "So mom, I got something with my tax return-" and she turned around real fast like "It better not be alive!" and I just made this face:
if-you-know-what-i-mean-mr-bean-rage-face-jas-fasola-podtekst-erotyczny-mem-oryginal.png

and she's like, "It better not be a snake or some other kind of monster." and so I just kept making the face, and she sighed and was like "What is it..." And I was like, "Yeah that." and she's like "What a snake?" and I was like, "Yeah." and so she wanted to see him but I'd just got him so he was tucked away in a hide and so she could hardly see his little side and she's like "that white thing in there?" and I was like "Yep, that's him, he's super tiny!" and she just kind of like, looked at my room and made a comment on a box I had in my room or something then walked out, and it was the weirdest thing ever, like I expected yelling and rage and her being really mad at me, but she was like really fine with it, I mean she wasn't excited about it, but she wasn't mad.
She asked me questions about him and stuff but it was like she really didn't even care. Then later when he poked his little snoot out of his hide I called her in to see him and she was baby talking him like "Hey there little Bowie!" So yeah, I was totally caught off guard. And I took him out the other day and wanted to show her the rest of him and she was looking at him like he was totally precious and cute and he sniffed her but stayed on me cause he trusts me the most. So yeah I am totally stoked that I get to keep him, and I made a joke about some wooden snakes she got me in lieu of a real snake when I asked her for one as a pet before and she's like "Well that was three of them!" and so I was like "Does that mean I get to get 2 more snakes?" and she was just like "Once you move out, sure." and then excitedly showed me a video of a guy with a huge rack full of cobras getting fed rats and like jumping out of their tubs.
 
Awwwwww snoot so cute I wanna move in there meow <3 Glad you mom handled it 'well' though. I could imagine mine going berserk for less things lol.
 
Awwww, he's so cute!! I've always wanted a ball python, maybe in a few years I'll get my own c:
 
wow
he's adorable! I am terrified of snakes- last year just before fall I was outside picking something up in the yard and I got right up to the sidewalk in the yard and uguhhhh there was a snake right next to my foot. Gave me a heart attack.

But he's still cute! I'd be okay with a friendly-looking snake like him.

I used to terrified of snakes until I got to meet a few snakes that were nice, and ever since I've wanted one. =D He is very sweet and hasn't bit anyone. I already feel that he is going to be a sass master, he always like stops slithering and then gives me the side eye, it's the best.
