You're not so brave, when I'm the snake, and you're my prey.

Look how big my kids are getting! This guy was only about 6inches when I got him...now he's about a foot and a half. How exciting! His max growth will be about 5 or 6 feet. But, I don't expect him to get that big any time soon. The boy can eat though. He ate 2 full grown mice this week. What a big boy. Just some info on Ball Pythons....It's interesting because a ball python will rarely bite. Their main defence system is rolling into a tight ball and hiding their head when disturbed (hence the name...This is also why I'm not touching him too much in the pics...I wanted you guys to see the full length). If further disturbed they will hiss loudly and/or bite...not venomous because all pythons and boas have no venom, but kill by constriction. Most people don't know this but the anaconda (the largest snake in the world) is a species of boa constrictor. No venom at all...all constriction baby....this by no means means that the anaconda is harmless...any constrictor of that size is dangerious. But my ball python reaching a max length of 6 foot...is harmless, compared to 18ft+ anacondas.

So I've been doing some soul searching and I believe I found what I want out of life. Something to keep me interested, give me confidence, make me feel proud. I need to get back into martial arts. Not only that, but I want to master an art and teach it. This time around I'm going to move up quick and kick some serious ass. I found a Shaolin Kung Fu Grandmaster that teaches here in Austin. He's straight from the Shaolin Temples in China. He knows his stuff. The name is Grandmaster Sin The'. I really miss training. I've been thinking about it alot every since I got out. ...even more so now. I'm thinking about doing some tournament fighting this go around as well. I've never entered in a tournament because I was always more interested in survival combat than competition. But I figure the more I win in tournaments, the faster I can advance. Plus it's great experience...aside from all of the bullshit rules. All I need to do, is visit the dojo this weekend and talk with the master. I hope work lets me change up my schedule a bit. I plan on training pretty hard this go round.

By the way, I highly recommend this song. Jerry Reed - Amos Moses

Yeah...
Here comes Amos

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by hisself in the swamp
And hunted alligator for a living
He'd just knock 'em in the head with a stump
The Louisiana law is gonna getcha you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy

Now everyone blamed his old man
For makin' him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy would use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his waist and throw him in the swamp

Ha ha ha

Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah
Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses

Yeah
Ha ha

Now the folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
And just use one hand
That's all he got left cause an alligator bit it
Ha ha ha
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow

Well the sheriff got wind that Amos
Was in the swamp trappin' alligator skin
So he snuck in the swamp gonna get the boy
But he never came out again
Well, I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to

Heh heh

Well you can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
Lived a cat called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah
Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses

Sit down on 'em Amos
Make it count son
About forty-five minutes southeast of Thibodeaux, Louisiana
Lived a man called Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hannah...
