Why not just let them watch some raunchy snake porn, then look for boners?

The bit about the ball python in the rangetop is funny and pretty familiar, we had a cornsnake in our bed last spring.A million years ago I had a roommate with a ball python.
Roommate comes home from working the rigs, plays around with snake, drunkenly fails to properly secure the tank, goes to sleep. Snake escapes. Roommate sobers up, searches the house unsuccessfully, before heading back to work in a few days.
It must have been close to a month later. I had cooked something on the gas stove, so the stove was warm. After eating I went to turn on a burner to heat the blades for some after meal hot-knife hits. Something caught my eye as I reached for the dial and I stopped. There in the center of the burner was a very distinct pattern.
Half an hour later after some minor stove disassembly, I had extracted a very grumpy and freedom loving snake, no worse for wear after his crawlabout.
------------------------------
Around this time I was acquainted with a guy that worked in the local pet store as the reptile handler. He also bred snakes at home and had a lot of money invested. This was the first time I became aware of the importance of hand washing to prevent the spread of disease. He was generally fastidious in his hygiene, but one day he forgot. He had handled a customer's sick snake earlier in the day and brought something home. His entire collection was wiped out.
The other half is a tough story to read. I quit being a semi-commercial breeder in late 2006 after a similar incident, or group of incidents, actually. I lost about $12k in investment and $50-70k in sales for 2007. I didn't keep any reptiles for a few years, not a story I love telling in detail.

I always want to call seedlings "hatchlings," because I started breeding livestock with snakes and lizards. Understanding genetic inheritance in snakes is a great genetics primer for anyone. The number of phenotype mutations from heritable traits in a given species is staggering. Recessive, Co-Dominant, Incomplete Dominant, Allelic and Polygenic traits often exist within one species, including Corn snakes, several Pituophis species, Carpet Pythons, Ball Pythons, Retics, and on and on.
I breed a few aquarium cichlids, too, and now cannabis.
Seems like I'm obsessed with seeing new life come into the world, but I have no children.
Compensatory, probably.
New flower pics tonight.

The thing that always amazed me was when I ran into people that were terrified of snakes.
My GF at the time worked with this biker chick, Marge. We had partied at her home and watched her and her ol' man beat hell out of each other one night, mostly for fun. The guy was missing a good chunk of his foot where a bike had fallen on him while running and the spinning chain had sawed half way through. These were TOUGH people.
Marge wouldn't even walk up our sidewalk once she knew we had a 3 foot long, harmless constrictor in the house.

It sounds like our upbringings may have been more similar than not.
It is very cool, but it doesn't surprise me that we appear to have so much in common. I mean we both ended up at the same destination.
Just a bunch of of dope smokin' and growin' hippies here at pH. @Lockedin and I have briefly discussed that we may well know some of the same people, and it would not be a stretch to imagine you and I may also have very few degrees of separation. The touring music scene in North America really isn't very big, and if you are even peripheral (as I mostly was) for long enough, , you often know someone who knows someone.
I to love snakes and reptiles. I even had a 5 ft American Alligator. 4 ft Nile and 5 ft Iguana, Along with Corn snakes and a couple pythons.
My neighbor let his trash pile get out ,of hand. Burned Down my whole Property. Lost them All. Still Love them. I to would have to give up growing to have them again.
I was over at Bill Becker ( The Venom Interview ) place with a friend. He says Keep a eye out boys the Red Diamond Back is out..

Sorry for the delay, folks. Been working a lot, and sort of physically broken for a bit... on with pics!
Some fairly bad pictures of very good plants. Some in the remote basement, some at la casa.
The little Orange Blossom Special clone from early in this thread looks like this now:

So, she struggled a lil bit, but I wanted to show how well a plant can do from clone straight to flower and she's done me proud enough.
Some strains require zero veg time.

Thanks, brother, you can see what I mean in the first page of this thread. Blue Cherry had a bit more veg than the others. However, the Orange Blossom Special went over six oz, and to be fair, I pulled her a week early. 9 weeks, from date of pic where she's tiny, and she struggled from poorly rinsed coco in the first two weeks. She's a goddamn goddess. I could post pics of the jars and weight. She was a twig, look back a couple posts. I think my OBS cut is probably best at 10 weeks, but I don't have lab tests to confirm it. I also think she's a Crockett's Clementine leaner, but can't be sure.
