I recently acquired a few new snakes. Two of them are from a reptile rescue organization. One, which I've yet to photograph, is a 11 yr old bullsnake named Cleopatra.

P.S. mind if I add you to my friends list? Most stuff I post is friends only.

I would like that very much. I've already added you and sent a request.

I love your photos.

thanks! I've never thought of my photos as being that interesting though :)
