Thought I'd introduce you to Drake who has been my housemate since April. A young male Centralian Carpet Python (Morelia bredli) and probably the friendliest reptile I have ever met.

He's rather cute, for a snake.

He looks like he should have a little medieval cap with a feather in it tho...

Still think he's beautiful, and he can curl up inside my jumper anytime :-)

Seems to have a lot of character for a snake! Have you had a pet reptile before?

Love your artwork by the way.

Hey Roger

As a kid I kept juv. Red-eared Sliders back in Singapore - didn't live too long...

Back in Perth in the 1980s/90s I used to have Bobtails (Tiliqua rugosa rugosa)in my backyard, the western counterpart to the Eastern states Shingleback (T. rugosa asper). Much nicer looking as well with crisp banding and flame orange cheeks. Victorian rugosas look like walking turds...
