I am SOOO excited because my parents & brother are coming out to visit me! August 13-18. I haven't seen them in almost a year, and by then it will be over a year. So far the plans are to go up and over Mosquito Pass (tallest mountain pass in Colorado, 4x4 access only), and also the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (and other things in the area). Depending on how much stuff they want to do, we might do more, but I don't want to overwhelm them without their agreement LOL.
Also this weekend Darryl & I started building a snake enclosure I drew up. It will look better than random tubs & stuff around the house, and will free up some space too!
I am pretty proud because this is my first attempt ever doing anything with wood.

With me for size
There is alot left to do, its going to be fully enclosed with locking glass doors and some nice stained wood. But this is a good start!
Well some awesome pics and stuff to share with you guys!
I will start off with some more pics of my snake Meerah, and my NEW snake (yet to be named.. because I don't know a gender yet).
Meerah is a Normal Ball Python, 3 years old & Female:
This is my new snake, an Aberrant Albino King Snake. He is a baby still. Well I use "he" loosely because I'm not sure what gender it is yet. It's not "people tame" yet but that will come with handling. So I expect to have 100+ snake bites this year by the time he is tamed. But he is teeny tiny so they won't hurt, and he isn't poisonous. He is 2 feet long, but will get to be about 6ft long.
I gave Tonka a bath last weekend, so hes looking pretty good, well not anymore since it has been monsoon season here LOL
This past weekend we had 5 tornadoes touch down in Colorado. All in the Denver area. We actually had one touch down & damage alot of stuff within about 5 miles from our house. Luckily we just had some hail & wind at the house. Darryl & I were actually in the mountains when it happened so didn't experience it. But I bet the dogs were flipping out.
These are the pictures from our drive through the mountains on Sunday... We went over Hoosier Pass all the way to Mosquito Pass (Highest Mountain Pass in Colorado, non paved 4x4 access only). Couldn't make it all the way over due to snow but some beautiful pictures none the less :D
Hope you enjoy the pictures and updates :)
Oh and Happy B-Day again Dad :) (Even though it is belated this time).
