Stumble It!
Everybody into the pool house!
Nephew Chris dropped by Goomp's this morning to clean the pool house, a favorite haunt of members of the local Northern Ribbon Snake community. One of them had shed its skin (above, x 5), which Chris presented to us for study and photodocumentation.
Baby (above) and Tiny took a scientific interest in Chris's find, performing a battery of olfactory measurements and paw tests.
The pool house cleaned, the strikingly handsome and well tanned Chris opened the season by diving into the pool but shooed off the paparazzi with cries of "No peectures, no peectures!"
I love the empty eyes! Heh...

Could we all have new beginnings a easily as a snake. The electric motor on the pump in the pool house provides heat which the snakes relish. In addition to the two foot long ribbon snakes we have one four foot corn snake who did not leave its discarded skin for us to observe.

Snakes in a pool... *grin* As long as they leave me alone, I'll leave them alone. But the skin is very neat.

Sissy, only you could make a snake's shedded skin look like exquisite jewelry. Looks like platinum, crystal and what we used to call moonstones for the eyes.

Hi,
I was brought by google and so so surprised at your cats! Because I have an almost the same looking cat with you! Except he is short tail.
Here is the picture I shot for him
