Hi all,
Just want to share a couple of pics of my son who took a bite from our yearling coastal like a man.
We bought the yearling female from Diamond_Python and we had it in an enclosure. Well today we were out for most of the day buying up herp stuff (as you do). We came home to put the Coastal into her new enclosure and found out that she ahd gotten out.
Could not tell the wife as she did not know we bought it. Ripped half of the shed apart looking for her and my 12 year old found it in the bar (which is for sale by the way). She was inside an old shotgun cartridge box.
When he pulled her out and was in the process of placing her in the enclosure she tagged him on the left forearm. My 10 year old found it highly amusing, as did I.
Any way, what turned out to be a nightmare ended up o'k.
Here's the pics. I told him that know believes snake bite stories unless there are pics. Better him than me but as he said your turn will come.

The 10 year old is now jealous and wants to get tagged too. I told him not to go near his mum and won't have to worry about getting tagged around the earrrrrrrrrrrrrr

| | Hibernating Subscriber | Join Date: Nov-05 Location: Melbourne - West Age/Gender: 39 | | | | Thanks for the comments all. It's 4:50 in the morning and I'm at work on A SUNDAY. When I get home I will show the boys the comments. He thinks he is sooooooooo cool at the moment. They want me to get them their own log in so they can have their own avatar. Does anyone know if kids 10-12 can have their log on details????
