Oliver was given to by an associate who knew I had snakes. His owner was moving and could not take the snake with her to her new home. I gladly stepped in and assumed the care of this aged Ball Python. He is roughly 19 years old according to my best estimations. He is a happy, health snake. Though, sometimes he gets a little overzealous at feeding time. He too is fed prekilled prey items; his diet consists of carefully selected mice. Though incredibly docile in nature, he is a mild, non-painful reminder that a snake can never truly be tamed. He is only 4 foot 5 inches in length and weighs a mere 7 pounds. |

This is one of the first pictures of Oliver. He was enjoying the warmth of the walk-way bricks and the coolness of the fresh clover bed. |

Isn't that just the cutest profile picture you've ever seen. I love the way he has his head popped out from the clover as if to say "SURPRISE" |

Here is Oliver hiding behind the geenery in his tank. He just loves to hide. |

Oliver still gets a little zealous with his meals. |

You can see how the moss works as a wonderful substate for snakes...it's soft, increases humidity, and helps to show off their coloration. |

Plus, it comes with all kinds of sights and smells for them to investigate. |
