I've taken Ginger out a couple of times so far and she's been very calm and really curious.

BTW- I don't recommend anyone copy what I do. Thanks

I don't recommend that you do what you do, but so we learn...

Ginger was in shed in the previous pics, but today she shed the old skin.

If a snake can touch 3sides of a hide they are much more at home in the cage.

Stunning animal.
I wouldn't want a bite in that area, necrosis will make some things fall right off ;)
