Have You Ever Touched a Python?
"Come out, Daddy!" shouted Amy. "You have to see the python." Since I had never seen a python before, I made a beeline for the door. Sure enough, there in the bush next to the house was a long python. Yes, that type of python. Our host tells us that it is good to have a python around your house in Australia, for they keep the bad snakes away. Since the python was so long, I decided to touch him, figuring that there was no way that he could react fast enough to bite me. So I reached out and touched him. And, guess what? He jumped. And, needless to say, I jumped. But then I jumped for joy, because I touched a python! And then, much to Susan’s dismay, Tyler touched the python too! And later Amy touched him, too. Sorry, Mom, but we couldn’t resist.

Hello Fagan Crew, No, I've never touched a Python, but I have touched a "Boa Constrictor" (did I spell that right?) and I have touched the highly dangerous and elusive "Speckled Gecko" :)
Skittles says HI and he had a wild weekend of partying.. The boys and I went to get him some crickets and he stayed up all night chasing the little fellows... He's doing well...
Austin misses Tyler already and I'll have him BLog you guys soon.
Be Safe and Be Blessed..

Yikes! I would have touched him too. Sounds like you guys are having fun. Love, Nance (Stuart's sister)
Stuart,
We happen to have a four foot python in our garage right now. The kids are babysitting it over the Thanksgiving break. It lives in their animal science class room. In one week it ate 12 mice!
